Mustard Relish

Liven up your hot dogs and appetizers with this tasty Mustard Relish.

This is a great condiment to make in time for summer BBQ season.

It also goes well with these Australian Sausage Rolls, instead of mustard on a sandwich. Anywhere you might use mustard you could substitute this for a little added zing.

It would also be good in this German Style Muffuletta instead of the olive salad called for.

As you may notice in the photos I labelled this as Cucumber Chow chow. I was going by the predominant mustard colour and my recollection of seeing chow chow in the condiment aisle at the store. Then I realized that chowchow tends to have cauliflower, tomatoes, cabbage and other very different ingredients. So… I went with Mustard Relish because that is pretty much exactly what it is.

Anywhere you might use mustard you could use this as a sweeter tangier option.

  • Preheat oven to 275°. Place canning jars on a baking sheet (preferably lined with silicone) and bake 20 minutes to sterilize the jars.

  • Remove jars from canner and allow to cool at room temperature about 12 hours. Unscrew the band and check that the lid has sealed.
