THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING



Thousand Island Dressing image

Stirring a little chile paste into an otherwise classic Thousand Island dressing tones down its sweetness slightly, adding a very gentle bite. For something spicier - and for a noticeable pepper punch - substitute up to 2 tablespoons chile sauce for ketchup. Or, for something sweeter and more mellow, leave out the chile sauce entirely. Other great additions here include a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce or a spoonful of mustard.

Time 15m

Yield 1 3/4 cups

1 cup mayonnaise
3 1/2 tablespoons ketchup

1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch of kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste

THOUSAND ISLAND RELISH



Thousand Island Relish image

This is a tangy relish that I hadn't made for awhile- just made a batch and remembered how good it is! From an old Canadian Living.

Provided by Jan in Lanark

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large cucumbers, peeled
6 large onions
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1/4 cup pickling salt
3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
3 cups white vinegar
2 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • In food processor or food chopper with coarse blade, chop vegetables. I find the best way to do this is to coarsley chop the vegetables before putting in the processor, and then pulsing briefly- you want small chunks, not puree.
  • Sprinkle with salt and add 2 1/2°C cold water. Let stand for 1 hour and drain well.
  • In large saucepan combine sugar, flour and spices; gradually stir in vineagr and water.
  • Add drained vegetables and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30-60 minutes, stirring often. Pack into hot sterilized jars leaving 1/8 inch headspace.
  • Seal immediately, label and store in cool, dry, dark place.
