Be Creative Hot Dog Relish

Dice the onion, green tomatoes, and sweet peppers into small, uniform pieces approximately 1/4-inch in size for even cooking and consistent relish texture.

Combine the diced onion, green tomatoes, and sweet peppers in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add the salt, sugar, celery seed, and mustard seed to the vegetable mixture and stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and help the vegetables release their juices.

Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender and the relish has thickened to a chunky consistency, with reduced liquid visible in the pan.

Taste the relish and adjust seasoning with additional salt or sugar as needed for balance between savory and sweet notes.

Transfer the hot relish to a serving bowl or jar and let cool for 10 minutes before serving alongside hot dogs or storing in an airtight container.
