My hint for smooth texture relish.....

korbo, Feb 17, 9:40am
I have been making relish for many years now, and now have 4 grandies.
They all seem to like relish/pickles on crackers, but I noticed they spat out the bits of onion.
Soooooo...now, just before thickening, I get out my stick blender, put into the pot, and gently work it, then thicken.
result is a nice smooth relish, that the little ones just love.
I think I get more jars as well.
I still like a chunky pickle tho....the other hint is that it doesn't fall off the cracker when you take that first bite...most embarrassing if out enjoying a cuppa and crackers.......
