Time 1h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound medium-hot red chile peppers, such as Fresnos or red jalapenos
2 small red or orange bell peppers - stemmed, seeded, ribs removed
½ large onion, peeled and quartered
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons pickling salt

Steps:

  • Wearing rubber or latex gloves, trim tops off chiles. Working in batches, pulse chiles, bell peppers, and onion in a food processor until chopped into fine bits, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to a nonreactive 3-quart pot.
  • Stir sugar, vinegar, and salt into chile mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring more frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching, until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Pour or ladle relish into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Apply clean lids. Enjoy immediately, store in fridge 2 to 3 weeks, or freeze up to 6 months.

SWEET AND TANGY PEPPER SPREAD



Sweet and Tangy Pepper Spread image

Yum, this dip is quite tasty. It's sweet, savory and smoky. The marmalade and balsamic reduction give the dip a sweet and unique flavor. We loved the smokiness from the Gouda and bacon. Bell peppers add a crisp bite to the dip. Serving with buttery crackers is perfect. They add a nice saltiness that complements the dip really well. But try this with your favorite dippers.

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup(s) orange marmalade
8 ounce(s) bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup(s) smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
2 teaspoon(s) balsamic reduction
1 large bell pepper, any color
3 small bell peppers, any color

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and marmalade together with a hand mixer until well blended.
  • Stir in meat, cheese, and balsamic reduction. Set aside.
  • Cut off the tops of the peppers. Remove seeds and pith to make four "bowls." Reserve the three small tops as "lids."
  • Finely chop the large pepper top.
  • Stir into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Fill pepper "bowls" with the mixture. Chill until ready to serve. Serve with crackers or chips.
  • NOTE: If you like more chunks of peppers in your spread, just chop all of the pepper tops instead of keeping the small ones intact as "lids."
