Ingredients

• 500 grams Jerusalem artichokes
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small White onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 250 ml White vinegar
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black peppercorns

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the Jerusalem artichokes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, though the skin is edible.

Step 2

Grate the Jerusalem artichokes and carrot using a coarse grater. Set aside.

Step 3

Finely dice the red bell pepper and white onion. Mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, mustard seeds, ground turmeric, ground ginger, salt, and black peppercorns. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 5

Add the grated Jerusalem artichokes, carrot, diced red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the pickling liquid.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook over low heat for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the relish has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the hot relish into sterilized jars, pressing it down to eliminate air pockets. Seal the jars tightly and allow the relish to cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process the jars in a water bath canner for long-term storage according to proper canning guidelines.
