Does anyone have a good recipe for making sweet pickle relish? I don't like the store bought sweet relish because it's loaded with preservatives and artificial colors, it tastes yucky. I'd like to start making it at home. I know it's just cucumbers, vinegar and sugar, but it seems like it might be hard to make it come out right.

Find a bread and butter pickle recipe that you like and grind the ingredients. My mother did that and it makes a marvellous relish.

The one above really isn't what I wanted to post - something more like this :

& I heard her call it by both names, cha cha & chow chow

Ditto what Mary said below. :-)

My mom canned some relish that I believe was bread and butter pickle relish that lasted for years & years. When that ran out she ended up taking cucumber chip pickles we had and chopping them up in the food processor with a little bit of the juice. Tasted just as good. We only use it for hot dogs so it made sense not to have a shipload of it around.

Christy, if you will e-mail me I will send you an old time recipe for the relish that is out of this world.I have made it for years and will never change to another recipe. Karen busdrivr AT alltel.net

Here is the recipe I have used for years. It is from the Ball Blue Book.

4 cups (960ml)chopped cucumbers
2 cups (480ml) chopped onions
1 chopped green pepper

Advertisement


1 chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 cup canning salt (DO NOT USE TABLE SALT) will make the cucumbers limp
3 1/2 cups sugar(840ml)
2 cups(840) cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) celey seed
1 Tablespoon mustard seed.
Combine cucumbers, onions, green and red peppers in a large bowl. sprinkle with salt and cover with cold water. Let stand 2 hours. Drain thoroughly; press out excess liquid. Combine sugar, vinegar and spices; heat to boiling. Add drained vegetables and simmer 10 minutes. Pack hot into hot pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch (16mm) head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield about 4 pints.
*I have a note on my recipe that this amount of liquid makes enough for a double batch of relish. Do not Double the mustard seed though.
I use an old fashion grinder to chop vegetables.

I tried this one posted below last year and it is an awesome relish recipe. So good, we used it on hot dogs, in tuna salad, chicken salad and potato salad.

So versatile! I am making it again this year (today actually!) and have sweet banana peppers that I am adding to it. This recipe is a keeper!

I am looking for a recipe for hot dog relish like the kind you buy - eg. Bicks. I have tried several but they are all on the sweet side. Anyone have such a recipe? Thanks.

I grind up;
1 peck of Hungarian yellow wax hot peppers
6 green peppers
6 onions
10 just turning tomatoes
Grind them all as you grind them put in a colander-in the sink to drain. after it is drained put into a large pot cover with apple cider vinegar about 5 cups of sugar.

Bring to a boil then let it simmer. To the thickness of your choice. Put in containers and freeze or bottle it. For me it is easier to freeze-enjoy hot dogs or hamburgers. My husband loves it on spaghetti.

You can simply reduce the amount of sugar used in the recipes. I reduced by half and found it came closer to commercial versions.

Exactly what kind of relish are you looking for? Just a hot dog relish with a sour taste? Maybe I can help.

Here in the U.S. you can buy dill pickle relish. Sometimes you have to look carefully for it on the grocery shelf, though.

I'm looking for a recipe using cucumbers, dry mustard and has a bit of kick to it.

Thanks for all the ideas.

I don't have a recipe for relish with a mustard taste. All of my recipes are sweet relish as I can't eat anything very spicy. Sorry!

Hot Dog Relish

3 cups finely chopped cucumbers
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

Advertisement


1 cup finely chopped onions
4 tablespoons salt
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed

Place first 5 ingred in stainless steel or glass bowl with water and salt. Cover and let stand over night in refrig. Next day drain well and add the rest of ingredients to a 4 quart stainless steel pot or dutch oven. Bring to a boil and turn to simmer until most of the liquid has reduced. Put in large container and store in refrig. You can process this following processing proceedures if you wish. It keeps in refrig for ever. I've never had a problem with it.
You can adjust the sweetness to your taste. I use this relish in any dish that calls for relish as an ingredient and it seems to make it so much better.

5 lbs. onions
5 lbs. cukes with peel, seeded
2 celery hearts
3 green peppers, seeded
3 red peppers, seeded
large head cauliflower

3/4 cup pickling salt

SAUCE:
6 C Sugar
2 C Flour
1 TBSP. Turmeric
5 C. Vinegar
3 1/2 C. Water

Put veggies through food grinder. Sprinkle salt over veggies and add enough water just to cover. Cover and let stand on counter overnight. Next morning, drain very well. Squeeze out all juice.

Sauce: Put all ingredients in large pot and whisk over medium heat til it boils. Simmer 2 or 3 mins. Add veggies and stir over medium heat til boiling. Remove from heat and pour into hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes 13 pts.

I don't know why you couldn't add dry mustard in place of the turmeric if you want.
I am also going to try Zucchini instead of cukes.

Years ago in Florida I used to buy hamburger relish. We all liked it. Now in Georgia we can not find it. :( It was made of ketchup and pickle relish. I need a recipe, maybe other ingredients too.

Have a Nice Day :)

You might want to try a chow chow recipe such as the one at
www.thespruceeats.com/chow-chow-green-tomato-relish-3059158 and simply add ketchup to the jar of chow chow before serving it. I make this chow chow and add the amount of ketchup I desire to the chow chow before serving it as a dip with chips or putting it on beans, hamburgers or hotdogs. If you're looking for an easier option, find a relish or chow chow you like at a farmer's market or grocery store and add ketchup to it before serving it.

Yum!!! Now I am hungry!! See if you like this version

www.epicurious.com/.../old-fashioned-hamburger-relish-50023873

Don't worry if you don't have tumeric... still tasty!

Best way to go is with veggies fresh from the garden! Wish I could still do that!

It's kinda odd sometimes when I read a posting on ThriftyFun and it reminds me of something I liked in my past that has been "temporarily" forgotten. Hamburger Relish is one of those things.

  • We always called it hamburger relish because "hamburger" (with bread or without) was the only time it was on our table.
  • My mother made it with fresh tomatoes (everyone had a garden) but I made it with Ketchup for my children and I just added Ketchup, relish, onions, mustard, vinegar, and sugar until it tasted "just right" and everyone loved it.
  • I think Judy has the simplest recipe but this one sounds interesting because it is a copycat of Bick's Classic Hamburger Relish that is no longer available (it was good).
