Submitted by Sandy One

"found this in my local paper many years ago and make it every year. Good on Brats or use leftover roast beef shredded, add mayo to moisten. Use this mixture on crackers or good for sandwiches!"

makes three pints-seeded peppers to reduce the heat.just had enough liquid-maybe another 1/2 cup vinegar?

THis is a great relish! It tastes a lot like one we used to buy at a gas station in Roan's Prairie, TX. I seeded about 1/2 the jalapenos, and also added 2 habaneros and some serrano peppers. I put in a chopped red bell pepper and 1 grated carrot to add color. I'll be making this every year, too. Thanks Sandy!
