Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumber
• 1 small white onion
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon celery seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon turmeric
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cucumbers and red bell pepper. Finely dice the cucumbers and bell pepper into small, even-sized pieces.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the small white onion.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric. Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Add the diced cucumbers, onion, and red bell pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the brine.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain a crisp texture.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the pickle relish to a clean, airtight jar or container. Ensure the vegetables are completely submerged in the brine.

Step 8

Refrigerate the relish for at least 1 hour before using to allow the flavors to meld. For the best flavor, let it sit overnight.

Step 9

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a condiment or topping on your favorite dishes.
