A nice addition to burgers or hot dogs. And very pretty for gift giving. You could substitute green bell peppers for the red ones, but it wouldn't be as attractive. You can also substitute zucchini for part of the cucumbers if desired.

This is the best dill relish I have ever tasted. I added 1/2 c sugar and 1/2 t tumeric. I also used mixed color peppers, red, yellow, & orange. It was extemely easy. I am on my 2nd batch already, because we've eaten so much of the 1st batch. Great served over cream cheese and eaten with crackers! Thanks for sharing.

I used 1/2 cup sugar and it was still to sweet, and it was also too vinegary. I haven't tried doing this yet, but I would recommend trying 1/3 cup sugar, 3 cups vinegar, and 1 cup water.
