This relish may take a while to make, but the result is really worth it. It's a sweet and tangy relish, made with peppers, onions and cabbage. Use as you would with any other relish.
I submited this recipe in a few years back. The reason why it took so long to make it was I used a towel to squeeze the water out of the cabbage and the onions. I made it again and I cut the recipe in 1/4. Instead of using towels to strain the water out I used my salad spinner. From start to finish it only took me 3 hours to make. It was so much easier this way and it made 6 pints. Try this in tuna salad instead of relish. I love it on Lima Beans and rice too. - 09 Oct 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

This is a wonderful sweet relish! A very nice change from the traditional green. I did not roast my peppers and just added them fresh. Since there is so much sugar, I really think it will last as long as green, in the fridge. I made this recipe for Christmas gifts and everyone raved about this relish and asked for for the recipe. It definately outshone the sweet green! I am making it again this summer, too many requests for it! Here is a hint...chew gum when working with the onions, helps with the tears! - 10 Jul 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
