I make a sweet pepper & onion relish...barely sweet. You could do with cukes, a pepper pickle relish.

I use this on hamburgers, in tuna or chicken salad on occasion. Tasty. Ball canning book.

Ok. Apx 6 c cucumber, 2 T salt, 1 T pepper, 2 T brown sugar, 1 c green bell pepper, 1 c onion, 1/2 c hot peppers in vinegar so maybe a couple T vinegar. Cooking down now. Will need more vinegar likely, but I'll see. Hope it doesn't have to be pressure cooked, but I'll go by taste.

sounds very good to me. :) when i used to grow a lot of garlic and had extra to make into garlic relish.

i only did this once but yes, i was actually silly enough to go through and clean up a five gallon bucket of tiny garlic cloves so i could grind it in the meat grinder and then cook it up (vinegar, water, brown sugar, hot pepper flakes) and made garlic relish out of it. i did can it.

that garlic relish was used for years afterwards - i made enough to give away a case of 18oz jars and still had over another case of those jars left over for my own use. at the time we were eating a certain brand of jam and i had all those jars that i reused (including the lids) and they all sealed just fine.

i liked it the best on hotdogs with saurkraut, mustard and fresh chopped onions.

Never considered dehydrating them...but I rarely even grow them. Will 2026, I'm low on pickles.

That hot dog does sound good! I rarely eat them but now I'll thinking there's a pack in the freezer -- saw it yesterday. Best part, Oscar Mayer in a 2 part PKG...only a few to open/use.

Gonna be a long winter -- waiting with no garden this year. 🤔. A local has collard, cabbage & broccoli plants well started. Might get a couple each & container them.
