Banana pepper relish or chutney Recipe

American · Condiment · 35 min total

A sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy condiment made from banana peppers, perfect for adding a kick to sandwiches, hot dogs, or grilled meats.

Ingredients

• 1 lb banana peppers (about 6-8 peppers)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Wear gloves when handling banana peppers. Remove stems, seeds, and membranes, then finely chop the peppers. You should have about 2 cups.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped peppers, onion, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until thickened and peppers are tender.
4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a clean jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
• For a milder relish, remove all seeds and membranes; for spicier, leave some seeds.
• Great on hot dogs, burgers, sausages, or as a dip for chips.
