Cucumber Relish recipe


A relish or vegetable jam is a cooked and pickled product made of chopped vegetables, fruits, pickles or herbs and is used as a condiment. Examples are chutneys and the North American relish, a pickled cucumber jam eaten with hot dogs or hamburgers. Here is our version of the cucumber relish, made with the cucumbers from our organic garden and served with tofu satay or dip with flat bread.
