  1. This is some tasty stuff. I used vidalias and with them being such a sweet onion I should have left out the sugar, as it was a "hair" too sweet for me with it. Next time if I use them I will not add the sugar. This cooks up beautifully and the smells wafting through your home truly will make your mouth water. I have used this on beer grilled brats served in a pretzel roll and on a burger with cojack cheese. Both ways were outstanding. I had some left to put into small freezer containers and it also freezes beautifully. I will enjoy this often, thank you Charmie for sharing this recipe.
     
  2. I will come back to post the stars after I've tried it. I made the relish today, reducing it to 1/3 recipe (just DH and I). It smells wonderful, and I could hardly stand to wait before trying it. But, I covered it up, and will try with hamburgers in a few days. I came back to post the stars. YUM! It really makes ordinary hot dogs an outstanding meal. Loved the sweet/tangy onion flavor.
     
  3. Made this for a hotdog lunch last Saturday. DH and I loved it, but I expected that. Surprisingly, my not-so-adventurous kids really liked it, too! Really fab, complex flavour. This would be great accompanying any grilled meat, I expect.
     
  4. Great topping for hot dogs and it was also delicious on Italian sausage. This will definitely be a regular addition to my family barbeques.
     
  5. This really took ordinary hot dogs to a new level! This relish was born for hot dogs!!! I love the sweet and hot combo of the sauce, it really tastes like outstanding barbeque sauce was used, when it really was just store-brand! I used guiness stout for the beer and this lent a remarkable flavor to the mixture. I don't think I will ever eat an ordinary hot dog again!
