Dill Pickle Relish

I decided to make dill pickle relish, too. I have made quite a few jars of sweet pickle relish but I do like a good dill pickle relish on hamburgers… This one came from a Canadian website, so I had to change the units but here it is in American… LOL

4 pounds cucumbers, chopped very small

1/4 cup pickling salt

1/2 tsp turmeric

2 cups white vinegar

1/3 cup sugar

4 cloves minced garlic

1 Tbsp dill seeds

2 tsp mustard seeds

1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion

Combine cucumbers, salt and turmeric in a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup cold water. Let sit for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse well in colander, pressing out moisture.

Bring vinegar, sugar, garlic, dill seeds, mustard seeds to boil. Add cucumbers and onions, return to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Fill hot jars up to 1/4” headspace. Process for 15 minutes in boiling water bath. Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from canner.

Makes 6 half pints
