| My 2 jars of refrigerator cucumber relish. |
I asked her if she thought it would work for the frig instead of canning and she said once she opened a jar it lasted a long while since it has vinegar in it.
It turned out fantastic and the 2 jars are almost gone already! It is a nice, refreshing addition to any dinner and is glorious on biscuits.
I did the process just exactly the same way, only after cooking on the stove, I put it in clean jars, let it cool and popped it in the frig.
I halved the recipe since I wasn't canning (As much as hubby liked it I could have made the full batch. He said it reminds him of his grandma who passed away a few years back. Awww.) and because of our personal tastes I left out the curry, hot pepper and mustard seed. I have no doubt those would taste awesome in it, but hubby isn't thrilled about those particular additions :) You know how it goes.
Anyway, Creative K Kids has some of the best recipes, so go on over and check it out. I am also getting ready to make her caramel corn and caramel dip.

Thanks for the shout-out! I'm so glad you liked the relish! You never know if others have the same tastes as you, so it's nice when it works out where others like something that is shared.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I wanted to give you full credit but share it also as it turned out so well :) It's a keeper!
DeleteThis is something new to me, sounds very interesting. Cucumber relish in the fridg. Hmmmm. I just might have to give this a try. My Hubs does what he calls pepper relish an puts it in the frig... lasts a long time.
ReplyDeleteIt really was good, better than I imagined. I've of course had pickle relish and pepper relish, but never cuke relish. I loved it!
DeleteI bet this would be good on biscuits!! Thank you for the cool share.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, it was fantastic on biscuits! Tasty yet you are getting your veggies.
DeleteSounds wonderful. Unfortunately, I don't have any cucumbers in the garden. But I am going to check out the recipe. Thanks for sharing, Steph.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can plant some next year :)

Thanks! Oh, it's really really good, Lorelai, truly. A unique recipe I would never have imagined. And yes, a treat on biscuits :)
DeleteThat sounds sooooo good! I may have to try this next year when I have cucumbers again!
ReplyDeleteIf you do, let me know how it turns out! :)
DeleteI love cucumbers but I've never canned before. This would be great for me with the ingredients you left out. I am so going to make this. The family would love this!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not technically canning. I guess I call it refrigerator cooking. I've also done tomato pickles, pickled okra and homemade hot sauce. Jelly is next on my list :)
DeleteAnd let me know if you try it!!
DeleteOh I really love this idea of cucumber relish. What do you use it on? I am very intrigued and will check it out!
ReplyDeleteWe eat it plain in a little dish on the side, or I did put some on a biscuit and it was great because it does have a sweetness to it. Gosh it'd probably go good on a hotdog too!
DeleteI've never had cucumber relish before, but it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either, Michelle, hadn't even heard of it. But it was great! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI loved that you were able to modify it to your liking! I love relishes as well!
ReplyDeleteMost recipes I figure I can tweak to how our family likes :) It's usually still fine. Relishes are so good!
DeleteWow this looks like something fun to eat. Never heard of the word relish but I know what it is and I'll have to try it too!
ReplyDeleteIf you do, let me know! It really is a great little side dish for any meal.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Katherine, I appreciate it.
DeleteSounds delish! AND Thank you for linking back to the original blogger. It is so refreshing to see bloggers respect original sources!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! I love to share other bloggers' ideas, especially if I have tried them myself, but I always, ALWAYS want to make sure everyone knows where I got it from and how I might have changed it.
DeleteSounds good. I'll have to try this out next year when we have cukes again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda. Let me know if you try it out! Maybe cukes will go on sale at Aldi and I can do it again, ha!
DeleteCan't wait to try it!!! Looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you do try it, Alice! I'd be curious how it turned out.
