Dill Relish
You can make and can Dill Relish at home in just a couple of hours!
Equipment
- 1 Colander
Ingredients
- 9 Lbs Cucumbers
- ½ Cup Celtic Salt
- 3 Tsp Organic Turmeric Powder
- 3½ Cups White Vinegar
- ¼ Cup Organic Sugar
- 2 Whole Medium Onions
- 2 Tbsp Dill Seed
- 1½ Tbsp Mustard Seed
Instructions
- Wash cucumbers and peel half of them. Cut off the ends of the cucumbers.
- Roughly chop the cucumbers and using a food processor cut them down. Make sure not to leave it going too long or it will turn into mush. I have to do this in small batches, it seems to work better that way.
- Place in large bowl and add turmeric and salt.
- Cover with water and let soak for 4 hours.
- Start your water boiling in your canner. This takes some time so you can get that going now.
- Take your cheese cloth and place it over your colander. Pour cucumbers over it and strain.
- Food process (or finely chop) your onions.
- Place cucumbers in your large pot and add sugar, dill seeds, mustard seeds, onions and vinegar. Bring to boil then simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Using your food funnel place the relish in your jars to ¼ inch head space.
- Process for 15 minutes if 1000 feet or under. Add 1 additional minute for every 1000 feet above sea level. (You can just google your location to figure out how far above sea level.
- Once done, wait 5 minutes and place on the counter. Let sit untouched for 24 hours.
Notes
Disclaimer & Safety Warning: Home canning can involve risks, especially botulism and requires you to use scientific-based procedures like using approved recipes and processing times. Always check jars for signs of spoilage before use. Make at your own risk and do your own research. National Center for Home Preservation is a resource.
- This recipe will mellow as time goes on. In my personal opinion I like this recipe 1-2 weeks after it is processed.
- Taste it before you put it in your jars if you are worried about flavor. Add more sugar if you want it sweeter.
