Ingredients

• 4 cups (finely diced) cucumbers
• 2 cups (finely diced) onions
• 1 cup (finely diced) green bell peppers
• 1 cup (finely diced) red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 cups white vinegar
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons celery seed
• 1 teaspoon mustard seed

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely diced cucumbers, onions, green bell peppers, and red bell peppers.

Step 2

Sprinkle the kosher salt over the vegetables and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 2 hours to allow the salt to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

After 2 hours, transfer the mixture to a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove the excess salt. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 4

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 5

Add the drained vegetable mixture to the saucepan and lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the relish thickens and the flavors meld together.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the relish into sterilized jars if storing long-term or into airtight containers for immediate use. Seal tightly and refrigerate once cooled.

Step 8

Serve as a topping or side with your favorite dishes. The relish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
