HARRY & DAVIDS SWEET AND HOT PEPPER AND ONION RELISH CLONE

Harry & Davids Sweet and Hot Pepper and Onion Relish Clone image

This recipe came from http://www.recipe-recipes-message-board.com/forum/view_topic.php?id=3467&forum_id=37 and was posted by forum member "thebuca". I've not tried it myself but I have heard it is wonderful! Update: I've now made this several times and it is fantastic. For some reason after canning it loses quite a bit of heat - as other reviewers have stated - I upped the quantity of Jalapeno's to 6, left the seeds in 2 and added a habanero. Too hot for me prior to canning, but afterwards it was perfect for my tastes. As to the sugar to liquid comment - I've not had any issues with mine not setting but it's worth bearing in mind. I also don't pressure can, I use a water bath and it works quite well.

Time 3h

Yield 7 pints

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 cups tomatoes, skinned, diced and drained
6 large red peppers, diced (I used multiple colors from garden)
8 cups sugar
2 tablespoons salt
4 ounces pectin
3 cups white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
3 large onions, diced

Steps:

* Recipe called for two small boxes of pectin - I have no idea if a small box is 1 or 2 ounces so I guess at 2 ounces -- so be careful!
Mix all ingredients together, except pectin and bring to a boil.
Turn down and simmer for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until thickened.
Whisk in the 2 boxes of pectin and boil for 1 minute.
Pour into sterile jars.
Process in pressure canner at #11 for 15 minutes.
Notes: I increased the peppers and the ground red. I actually used scotch hots and it still lost some of the heat in the canning process. This always happens to me! Go ahead and be a little generous on the heat because it seems to leave the product after canning. Also, in using the 8 cups of sugar, you need the hot pepper to balance out the sweet.
It seems like a long time to cook but it makes a beautiful transformation from orange/red to a deep jewel ruby red. It is necessary to cook it the 2 hours because it becomes thick (unlike fresh salsa that stays thin).
Recipe reads that it makes about 7 pints. Not sure about that since I increased the vegetables. I would can in jelly jars because one mixed with 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese was plenty of dip.
I did not pressure can. I water-boiled for 10 minutes. They all set up perfectly.
It was a success. Tasted great, just wish it was a little spicier. I added cayenne to my cream cheese mixture.

I used to call my MIL the "Queen of Pies" as she would serve 2 different pies EVERY night for dinner. So...when I married her son and felt that I had to make pies... I was quite intimidated by trying to keep up to her standards. This recipe gave me enough confidence that even she gave me the "nod"!!! Obviously with practice, I have got better over the years....but this recipe was very forgiving to me when I first started out making pies!!!!
