Philadelphia Pepper Relish Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Working in batches, pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor until chopped into fine bits, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
• Stir sugar, vinegar, and salt into chile mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour or ladle relish into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Apply clean lids. Enjoy immediately, store in fridge 2 to 3 weeks, or freeze up to 6 months.

HOT PEPPER RELISH RECIPE

• Add to a jar and allow to cool.
• Serve!

SWEET BELL PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash the peppers, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and ribs. Cut the peppers into large chunks-when done you should have about 6 pounds of chunks.
• Finely chop about 1/2 to 2/3 of the peppers.
• Grind or finely chop the remaining amount of peppers using a food grinder or food processor .
• Coarsely chop about half of the onions.
• Add the remaining onions to the grinder or food processor with the peppers.
• In a large bowl, combine the chopped and ground peppers and onions with the salt . Toss to mix thoroughly, cover the mixture with abundant ice, and let stand for 3 hours in the refrigerator.
• Drain and rinse the bell pepper and onion mixture, squeezing the vegetables with your hands to get as much moisture out as possible.
• In a large nonreactive pot, combine the two kinds of vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, and paprika, if using. Add the well-drained pepper mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes, until thickened. Stir occasionally.
• In a saucepan, bring water to a simmer, turn to low and add the flat lids. Keep the lids in hot water until you're ready to use them.
• Fill a bath canning kettle about half full with water. Add the canning jars to the water and bring to a boil. Carefully remove the jars and drain.
• Ladle the pepper mixture into the hot drained jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. With a damp clean cloth, wipe any spills or drips from the threads and rims of the jars.
• Using tongs, lift lids from the water and let any excess drip off of them. Place the clean jar rims on. Screw on the jar rings firmly but not too tightly.
• Place the filled jars into the canner. The water should be at least 1 inch above the jars. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and boil gently for 10 minutes.
• Carefully, remove the jars to a rack to cool.
• Once cool, check for seals. If any jars did not seal, refrigerate the relish and use it within the next three months. Label the jars with an expiration date of 12 months in the future. Keep in a cool dry place for up to 12 months.
• Enjoy!

HOT RED-PEPPER RELISH

• In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in pepper mixture. Let cool completely. Transfer to resealable jars with lids. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 days and up to 1 month, or follow our canning instructions and store at room temperature up to 1 year.

SWEET & SPICY PEPPER RELISH CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Mix warm water, salt, and garlic powder until salt is mostly dissolved to make brine. Pour brine over diced peppers. Let sit 10-30 minutes (depending on how much time you have).
• Pour brine off peppers and rinse well (2-3 time) using cold water and squeeze to remove excess water. Set aside.
• In a medium sauce pan add sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil and boil for 5-8 minutes until mixture begins to thicken like a syrup.
• Remove from heat and add drained peppers. Stir. Let cool and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Warm cream cheese in oven (300 degrees for 8-10 minute to soften. Place on serving dish. You may also serve cheese at room temperature).
• Carefully spoon pepper relish to top of cream cheese.
• Serve with crackers, salami or toasted baguette rounds.

PEPPER HASH - AMERICAN PIKLIZ

Steps:

• Combine the vinegars. Add the sugar and salt to the vinegars, and stir until they've dissolved.
• Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can. I do it by hand and it is fairly tedious (this is the reason for the long prep-time in the recipe). Another option is to use the food processor, which results in a dish the consistency of KFC slaw; Be careful - it is really easy to end up with cabbage mush.
• Seed & slice the green pepper, also very thinly.
• If using the scotch bonnets or habaneros, seed & slice those super thinly. These are really spicy peppers (for those unfamiliar); handling them can burn your hands, and the burn can last a few days. I use disposable gloves when I cook with scotch bonnets or habaneros.
• Place the cabbage, green peppers, and all spices and seeds in a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the vinegar mixture over it. Shake.
• The pepper hash can be eaten immediately. The flavor meld well over time. It lasts in the fridge for several weeks.
