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.
  • 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.

Modifications made:

  • Noted option for the smaller jars (same processing times);
  • For the “seasoning” process, added option of Pickle Crisp for further crisping during that process, and added water (later all drained off) to make a slurry to help distribute salt / salt sub / Pickle Crisp mixture more evenly.
