Ingredients
•
1 pound medium-hot red chile peppers, such as Fresnos or red jalapenos
•
2 small red or orange bell peppers - stemmed, seeded, ribs removed
•
1/2 large onion, peeled and quartered
•
1 1/4 cups white sugar
•
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt
Directions
1
Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor, working in batches, until finely chopped, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
2
Stir sugar, vinegar, and pickling salt into chile mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward the end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
3
Ladle relish into wide-mouth, ½-pint jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean with a damp paper towel. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
4
Screw on the lids and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months.
