| Apple and Cucumber Relish I had a ton of cucumbers left over from our trip to the market last week, our family is rather large, so we buy in bulk between us and divide it up, you get a ton of stuff and at an excellent price, but also means you sometimes get 6 cucumbers you don't know what to do with :) Well this week, along with a few apples left over too I decided to make a little relish, this could be used as a dip, or alongside a curry maybe. |  |
|  | Ingredients for this Recipe
(This is for 2 x 250ml Jars )

Instructions
You'll need a saucepan with a lid, and also either a hand blender or food processor. you may be able to do this with a potato masher, but you'll have a few lumps left in it, it'll still taste nice though :)
 | Peel, De-seed and Dice the apple and Cucumbers and place them in a cooking pot |
 | Add the Vinegar, Water, Sugar, Spices into the pot and put the saucepan on a high heat, bring to boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
Leave to simmer, stirring occasionaly for about 30 minutes.
Whilst this is simmering, prepare the 2 empty jars. Wash them and sterilize them. I use sterilizing powder with warm water, it's the same sterilizing powder used for my brewing. |
 | After 30 mins the cucumber and apple should become more translucent than white, now get your hot jars and spoon the mix into them. Put the lids on and leave to cool.
Loverley :) |
