TOMATO-CUCUMBER RELISH

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice-water bath. With a sharp knife, cut a shallow X into bottom of each tomato. Add to pot and cook until skins begin to curl away from cuts, 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer to ice-water bath. When cool enough to handle, peel tomatoes with a paring knife, halve, and remove seeds. Finely chop (you should have about 1 cup) and transfer to a bowl, along with cucumbers, brine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.

THE BEST RELISH I'VE EVER HAD

Steps:

• Grate the cucumbers and onions into a large bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle the pickling salt over the top. Cover tightly, and allow to rest at room temperature overnight.
• Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cucumber mixture; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, flour, turmeric, ginger, and celery seed. Heat the vinegar and water in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Stir in the cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process pint jars for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

CUCUMBER AND ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Combine cucumbers, onions, and salt together in a colander fitted over a bowl; place in the refrigerator for cucumbers and onions to drain, 8 hours to overnight.
• Mix vinegar, sugar, water, flour, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Add cucumbers and onions; boil for about 10 more minutes.
• Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for about 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

WATERCRESS-APPLE RELISH

Steps:

• Slice peel and pith from lemon with a sharp paring knife, removing as little flesh as possible; reserve peel. Working over a large bowl (to catch any juices), cut away segments from between membranes. Cut supremes into thirds and reserve in a small bowl; tip any juices on cutting board into large bowl. Squeeze membrane and peel over large bowl to extract juices.
• Whisk Dijon into 2 tablespoons lemon juice in large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Add watercress, apple, and fennel, tossing to evenly coat. Stir in capers and lemon pieces. Relish is best served the day it's made, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day.
