Hot Red Pepper Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Add everything to a small sauce pan and mix until well incorporated.
• Cook the relish on medium heat for 5 minutes and turn down the heat to medium-low(or low) for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has reduced.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
• Note:.
• The relish needs to be cooked on a low heat, so stir frequently and reduce time if necessary. This recipe will keep quite awhile in the fridge and you may multiply the recipe and can it if desired.

Steps:

• Combine peppers, onion, and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a sieve set over a bowl and let stand 30 minutes. Run under cold water for a few seconds to remove excess salt, then thoroughly drain.
• 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.

Steps:

• Put peppers and onions through food chopper, or chop in water in blender and drain.
• Place in 6 quart kettle.
• Add salt; cover with boiling water.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Drain and discard liquid.
• Add vinegar and sugar to vegs.
• Bring to boil, simmer 20 minutes.
• Ladle into 7 pint jars, pressing down as you pack so liquid covers vegs.
• Wipe jar rim, adjust lids.
• Process in boiling water bath 15 minutes.
• Start to count processing time when water in canner returns to boiling.
• Remove jars.

Steps:

• Wash and stem the bell peppers and the jalapeno. Use a food processor to finely mince the peppers - be careful not to turn them into mush. You want the pieces of the pepper to be the consistency of a relish.
• Put the minced peppers in a large bowl and combine with the canning salt. Let this mixture sit, covered, at room temperature for 3 hours.
• Line a counter with lots of paper towels - I usually use 5 layers. You are going to be placing the drained peppers on these paper towels, so make sure you cover a large enough space; at least 1 foot by 1 1/2 feet.
• Drain the peppers well in a colander, and then with your hands, which you have just washed in hot water with soap, squeeze the remaining moisture out of the peppers. You will see that a lot of water still comes out. Place the drained and squeezed peppers on the paper towels.
• Make a spice bag out of a double layer of cheesecloth, and tie the allspice up in it.
• In a non-reactive 10 to 12 quart pan, combine the drained peppers, the spice bag containing the allspice, the sugar, and the vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium.
• Cook the relish over medium heat for 1 hour, stirring frequently. Keep your eye on it - I have had this relish burn on me due to the high sugar content, so stir frequently - do not walk away from it. If the relish looks like it may be about to burn, turn down the heat.
• When the relish is done, the pieces of pepper will be translucent and the syrup will be thick.
• Remove the spice bag and ladle the relish into canning jars, leaving 1/2" headspace. Use a chopstick or other thin, non-metal utensil to run around the sides of the jar to make sure there are no air bubbles left in the jar. Wipe the rims of the jars with damp paper towels to remove any relish which got on the rims or the threads. Place the lids and the bands on the jars, just tightening the bands fingertip tight.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, then remove and let sit, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours before checking seals. It is important to let them sit undisturbed for 12 hours because the sealing compound on the lids is still cooling and hardening, completing the seal. While the jars cool, you will hear a "plink" type sound from each jar - this is the jars completing the vacuum seal as the final air escapes the jar. After 12 hours have passed, remove the bands and check the lids - press down in the center of the lid. If you cannot push the lid down any further, the jar is sealed. If the lid "gives" a bit, and you can push it down, the jar did not seal. You can either put the band back on the jar, and reprocess it for another 10 minutes, or you can just put it in the fridge and use it within 3 months.

Steps:

• For the relish: Bring the red wine vinegar plus 1/4 cup water to a gentle simmer in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the sugar, mustard seeds and coriander seeds. Simmer until the liquid reduces to a syrup consistency and the seeds become tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Heat the oil in the same pan over medium heat until it smokes lightly. Add the onions and red pepper and cook over high heat until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and add to the reduced vinegar mixture along with the hot sauce and pickles. Stir to blend, then transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours.
• For the crispy onions: Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a medium pot.
• Stir together the flour and paprika in a medium bowl, then add the onion slices and toss to coat. Test the oil by dropping in one onion slice. It should fall to the bottom, begin to bubble, rise to the top and fry gradually. Prepare a baking sheet fitted with a kitchen towel, and get a slotted spoon ready. Shake the excess flour off half of the onions and drop them in the oil. Gently swirl them with the spoon so they fry more evenly on all sides, until they are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove them with the spoon and lay them out on the kitchen towel to cool. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining onions.
• For the hot dogs: Boil or pan-fry? Your choice. (See Cook's Note.) If you want to boil the dogs, place the dogs in a pan with enough simmering water to cover them and gently cook over medium-low heat until fully hot, 8 to 10 minutes. To pan-fry, add them to a little hot oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toast the buns in the toaster or a hot (350 degree F) oven until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread a layer of mustard down the length of the dogs and place them in the buns. Top with hearty helpings of the relish and even layers of the onions all the way down the bun.

Steps:

• For the onion sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chile powder and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup water, the ketchup, hot sauce, salt and black pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened and the onions are very soft, adding more water if needed, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.
• For the grilled pepper relish: Combine the garlic, peppers, oil, vinegar and parsley in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• For the hot dogs: Heat a grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the dogs with oil and sprinkle with pepper. Grill until slightly charred and golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Put the hot dogs in the buns and top with mustard, onion sauce and grilled pepper relish.

Steps:

• Quarter and deseed the peppers, then place, skin-side up, on a grill pan. Grill until the skins are blackened, then transfer to a bowl and cover with foil until they are cool enough to handle. Strip off the skins and roughly chop the peppers.
• Roughly chop the tomatoes and garlic. Deseed and roughly chop the chilli. Put all the ingredients in a food processor with a good amount of seasoning. Blitz until finely chopped but not puréed. Tip into a bowl, cover and chill for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature to serve.

Steps:

• Combine red bell peppers, onions, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
• To make the relish:
• Cut peppers in half and discard seeds. Put through food chopper twice, using finest blade. Drain peppers, reserving exactly 1 cup of the prepared juice; pour juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Set aside to use when preparing the jelly. Measure exactly 1 cup of the drained prepared peppers into separate 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir 3-1/2 cups of the sugar and 3/4 cup vinegar into peppers in saucepot. Add 1/2 tsp. of the butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 pouch of the pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
• To make the jelly:
• Stir remaining 3-1/2 cups sugar and remaining 1/2 cup vinegar into prepared juice in saucepot. Tint with food coloring, if desired. Add remaining 1/2 tsp. butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining pouch of pectin. Return to full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Steps:

• Using a food processor grind the cabbage, onions, green pepper and cherry peppers.
• Put in large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.
• When adding the vinegar to bond together--you may need a little more.
• All the hot ingredients may be increased or decreased according to your taste.
• You may taste as you go along.
• Pack in sterile jars and keep refrigerated.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C (or 425 F).
• Lay the red peppers cut side down on a baking tray and brush them with 2 tbsp olive oil.
• Bake until the skins start to blacken and blister.
• At that point, remove from the oven, put them in a bowl and cover with cling film.
• Set aside.
• Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes by covering them in boiling water for a few minutes.
• Drain and the skins should come off easily.
• Quarter the tomatoes, discarding the seeds.
• The peppers should now be cool enough to skin.
• Once they are skinned, chop into thin strips.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan.
• Tip in the onions and chillies and sauté over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until the onions are soft.
• Stir in the sugar and cook for another two minutes, being careful the sugar does not burn.
• Add the tomato and pepper strips along with the vinegar.
• Let simmer for 20 minutes or until thick and pulpy.
• Put into a sealed container and keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
• Serve cold.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add bell peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add red-wine vinegar and sugar and simmer until liquid is evaporated and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Cut lamb into 2 pieces where there is a natural separation in meat and put each piece into a large sealable plastic bag.
• In a food processor, purée all remaining ingredients (except relish) until smooth and divide marinade evenly between plastic bags. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking pan. Marinate lamb, chilled, turning bags once or twice, at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Prepare grill.
• Discard marinade and grill lamb in batches if necessary on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 10 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Serve lamb, thinly sliced across the grain, with relish.
• In a heavy saucepan, stir together ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour, or until reduced to about 3 cups. Relish may be made 1 month ahead and chilled, covered.
• Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.
