Cucumber Dill Relish: A Fresh and Tangy Condiment

Many thanks to Robin over there in Chicago for unknowingly suggesting the lovely Cucumber Relish to me. It is nice, and it still has 4 weeks to mature! CUCUMBER DILL RELISH – makes 2x 380ml jars INGREDIENTS 750g Cucumber approx. 3 cucumbers ½ red bell pepper 1 medium onion 60g salt ½tsp turmeric 1tsp English mustard powder ½tsp dill seed ½tsp pink peppercorns ½tsp pickling spice If you don't have pickling spice use mustard seeds 120g sugar 360ml cider vinegar 15g cornflour METHOD Peel the cucumbers (if needed) then slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Discard the seeds. Finely chop the cucumbers into dice of approximately ½-1cm. Deseed the red pepper and dice it finely. Peel and finely chop the onion. Place all the vegetables in a large non-metallic bowl and add the salt. Mix the salt into the vegetables. Cover with a tea towel or cling film and leave for at least 4 hours or overnight to draw out some of the water in the vegetables. Drain the vegetables in a colander and rinse thoroughly. Place the vegetables into a clean tea towel and twist to squeeze out all the excess water. Crush the whole spices. Put the vinegar and sugar into a large pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to a boil. Remove 2TBSP of the hot vinegar and leave to cool. Add the turmeric to the cornflour and mustard. Stir in the cooled vinegar to make a paste/slurry. Add the vegetables to the pan and bring it back to a boil. Add the crushed spices and cornflour slurry. Boil for 3 minutes whilst stirring. Ladle into the sterilised jars. Leave for 4 weeks to mature before using. Use within 6 months. ▶--------SPICES on the WEB---------◀ Many of my viewers have asked about the packs of herbs and spices I use in my videos.
