Jalapeno Relish

This recipe has been in our family since 1976. It was my dad's recipe given to him by a friend. He won 3rd place at the Southern New Mexico State Fair in 1978. He passed away that month and never knew he won. So you can say this a very special recipe in our family. It is like a canned pico de gallo. You can eat it with tortilla chips or mix in with scrambled eggs or whatever you prefer.

I was excited to see this recipe and realize that everything I needed was in the garden. I added a few different types of peppers (I suggest you wear gloves when chopping them- lesson learned). I made half the recipe with fresh oregano and half with cilantro. Very different taste to each, but delicious. Took two jars on a family vacation- they were gone in one night. Yummy! Thanks for sharing.

    Great stuff, we consumed half a jar in one sitting and my DH asked me to make another batch, so we would have plenty for the winter. To be honest i guestimated the amount of tomtoes and peppers. I used fresh cayenne peppers ,so i had to be cautious adding theses as they are really hot.

    This was very good and easy to make. Other than seeding the tomatoes and peppers I did not change a thing. It's great. Thanks so much for a nice recipe.

    I spotted your lovely photo the other day and having tons of tomatoes and peppers, I decided to give this a try. The veggies were chopped using the food processor making this such an easy recipe to prepare. The oregano was a different twist than the usual cilantro but added to the wonderful flavor of the relish. My yield was 6 pints. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me. Thanks for sharing your family recipe.
