Cucumber relish is great for hot dogs and hamburgers, but it can be used for so many other things. One of my favorites is to put a spoonful on top of beans to add some freshness and acidity to the bowl. While many will just head to the grocery store for their favorite jar, this recipe is quick to assemble and is a great homemade alternative for store-bought pickled relish. All you basically have to do is some light assembly and then just wait. What do you plan to eat this pickled cucumber relish recipe with?

This condiment is quick to assemble and is a great homemade alternative for store-bought pickled relish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced kirby cucumbers (2 to 3 small cucumbers)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup distilled white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Toss the cucumbers with the salt; place in a mesh strainer set over a bowl and let sit for 30 minutes. Discard the liquid.
  2. Add the vinegar and sugar to a pot, bring to a simmer, and cook for 1 minute, stirring so that the sugar dissolves.
  3. Transfer the cucumbers to a container such as a mason jar and pour the hot liquid over top. Let sit until cooled to room temperature, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
