Homegrown Pickles

Before we make this recipe we need to make a trip to the garden. See that nice green plant that is growing? That is a pickle plant. My Mom loves to plant pickles in her garden. She especially likes a variety called Sweet Success Cucumber Seeds.

Pickles vs Cucumbers

Once the pickles are mature enough we carefully pick them off the plant. If left on the plant longer, the pickles grow bigger and bigger until they eventually go from the pickle stage and into the cucumber stage.

Homemade Relish

To make Homemade Sweet Pickle Relish you will need the following:

• 1 1/2 quart pickles
• 1 green or red bell pepper
• 1 onion, large
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar – Mom and I use Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar.

We start by collecting fresh, organic pickles, then wash and dry them with a soft towel. Next, using a food grinder we grind the pickles, pepper, and onion together, then add spices to make this flavorful, colorful recipe.

This delicious sweet pickle relish is the perfect condiment for hot dogs, brats, hamburgers, or even in a homemade tarter sauce! Oh, did I mention that this recipe is naturally gluten-free?
