  5. After 30 minutes, bring back to a boil.
  6. Pack hot into quarter-litre (½ US pint) jars or half-litre (US pint) jars.
  7. Leave 2 cm (½ inch) headspace for either size jar.

  12. Process either size jar for 15 minutes; increase time as needed for your altitude.
  13. Best after at least a month of jar time.

Reference information

How to water bath process.

How to steam can.

When water-bath canning or steam canning, you must adjust the processing time for your altitude (follow the table above.)

For salt substitute, Herbamare Sodium-Free was used.

For stevia, Better Stevia liquid stevia was the stevia used.

Recipe notes

  • The Kitchen Bouquet is optional, for a darker colour. For a darker colour as well as a stronger flavour, you could swap the white vinegar for malt vinegar (5% or higher).
  • If your cucumber is unwaxed, leave skin on. If it’s waxed, peel it.
  • Instead of green and red bell peppers, you can use any colours of sweet peppers you wish. Or, if you want to give your curry relish some zing, you could work in some hotter peppers — just don’t go over the total combined weight called for of peppers.
  • Instead of the brown sugar, you can use the same volume amount of Splenda®, OR 4 teaspoons liquid stevia. It’s also okay to dial back the amount of sugar a bit.
  • You can cover while bringing to a boil, but do the 30 minute simmering uncovered — the goal is both to drive acidity in to the veg, and let some of the liquidity evaporate away.
The veg should be chopped about this size.

The veg should be chopped about this size.

What's New in Home Canning

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

“The importance of a well-planned canning program cannot be emphasized too strongly. Survey after survey has shown us that home canning as part of a wise home-production program can make the difference between diets that are poor — and diets that are good, nutritionally. Home-produced, home-canned food helps provide better diets with fewer food dollars.”

— Dr Louise Stanley, USDA Radio Homemakers Chat. 22 August 1941.
