Ok, now ive made my tomato relish and is was a sucess, thanks to those that told me how to sterilse the jars.Has anyone got a awesome recipe for red capsicum relish, did the search thingy but got a bit confused.Thanks, this is fun watching my wee jars get full.Also if anyone from southland (winton) and remembers the red capiscum relish that the magnolia tree use to make, it was awesome and I want it like that lol

i think Annabel Langbein has a nice recipe for that................
I have The mos awsome book - NZ Womans Weekly Test Kitchen - Favourite Preserves by Tui Flower.It has a Red capsicum rellish in it and its really nice.I make it with green or a mixture of colours and always comes out nice. Just make the mustard pickle from it and really easy and yum too

Green Pepper Relish.1 Kg (about 12) large green peppers, 2 Tbsp salt, 1½ cups sugar, 2½ cups vinegar. Remove and discard the seeds from the peppers.Chop peppers finely and kput in a non-metallic bowl.Sprinkle with the salt, cover and let stand for 12 hours. Drain peppers and rinse with cold water.Leave to stand in a sieve or colander to drain thoroughly. Put the sugar, vinegar and kpeppers into a saucepan.boil gently until mixture thickens and peppers go clear.(This will take 35-45 mins) Pack and Seal.Makes 3 x 350 ml jars.
NB:dO NOT BE TEMPTED TO MINCE PEPPERS, AS THIS SPOILS TEXTURE.

I have been buying big bags with about 8 caps. all colours for $1.00 abag, so thought this would be a cheap relish, and when its cheap in winter whenmaking stews I can hurtle afew dspn fulls into the stew.I just chop up the caps, I sure love cheese & crackers with relish.
