Autumn Pepper Relish image

This colorful relish is a favorite with friends and family because it tastes amazing on just about everything. I like to serve it over cream cheese or a block of sharp cheddar cheese along with crackers or French baguette slices. I also include a jar in gift baskets. -Barbara Pletzke, Herndon, Virginia

I'm not a huge fan of spicy foods, but I still enjoyed this relish. The sweetness of the peppers balances out the heat nicely. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a great combination.
