I made relish and find it is too sweet. I used liquid mustard instead of powder so wonder if this is the problem. Is there any way I can reboil it and add something to take that sweetness away? I would appreciate any help.

My hubby is the chef of the house, and when he does something like this, he ads (literally a drop at a time) some apple cider vinegar to the mix and keeps tasting until it gets where he wants it.

Some people use lemon juice...which works too...again...drop by drop as you don't want it to get too bitter.

I would not reboil it through...just mix it in as is...reboiling could spell disaster.

Hope you can fix it.

Hi,

I would agree with using apple cider vinegar. I am including a link that describes the usefulness of this vinegar:

I would also only use a little, at a time, until your relish is the flavor you want it to be.

Blessings,

Robyn

I have just made a batch of green tomato relish. Somehow it seems to be too spicy as in perhaps too much curry powder or mustard. Any help to make this relish less spicy would be appreciated.

Try rinsing the relish with water before you use it as relish. Also, try cooking meat, such as chicken, pork or beef etc., in slow pot with the relish and do not add any other spices or salt.

Dill pickles are good to do this way so maybe this method would work with your relish.

The next time you make it, cut back on the salt. Be sure you change the recipe so you won't do it again. As far as this batch is concerned, can you make a second batch without salt and put it with the first batch?

If not I am afraid you can do nothing about it.

Maybe you could add sugar to the jars as you open them, to counteract the salt, or just add chopped fresh tomatoes to the relish.

It could also be used in cooking, in a dish where the saltiness would be "spread out" over a whole casserole or something. Just don't add any more salt to that dish!

Hope you didn't make a huge batch!
