I halved this recipe successfully and it came out to just a tad bit more than 4 half pints. We used up the leftover immediately after cooking on some cornish game hens and it was good. Easy to make and can. Thanks for posting. -
Excellent relish! I followed exactly as written and found it easy to prepare and taste was wonderful. Very pretty too, I plan to use for holiday gifts. Thanks for posting a great recipe! -
Wonderful recipe. So easy to make too. I used to buy Bick's Onion Relish, but not any more...this is far superior. I didn't have the pimientos, so I diced some sweet red, orange and yellow peppers (will add more next time I make this). I ended up with 9 half pints. Probably because my onion pieces were larger. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. This is a keeper. -
Truly wonderful! I have a couple of other recipes for onion jam and chutney but this is much more flavorful. Easy to make too. Thank you for posting...
