I did a hot pepper relish and a sweet cucumber relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both relishes were pretty simple and I started with the pepper relish first.  A mixture of  Jalape\u00f1os, Serrano, Habanero and chili peppers,  garlic, onion, vinegar,  mustard seeds, sugar and salt. Chop together and heat on the stove, simmer and throw on a jar. Tasted sooo good and had a great bite of heat with lots of flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pickle relish was a similar process except I used the food processor for the ingredients of cucumbers (seeded), peppers, and onions plus added celery seeds minus garlic. Once again tasted fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During part of this process I was tasting which vinegar to use and the effect was that the vinegar seemed to help this sinus allergy type malaise I was having! Tasting the hot relish seemed to relieve the sinus pressure the medicine I had taken didn\u2019t immediately! Amazing what happens on trying different things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope to do more of this canning and preserving my produce from my garden!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
