Pepper Relish

This relish must be made ahead to allow flavors to meld. After cooking, the relish can be processed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for shelf-stable storage up to 1 year. Once opened, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

If not canning, cool the relish completely and store in clean, airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. For long-term storage, ladle hot relish into sterilized jars leaving ¼-inch headspace, process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, and store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
