Easy Homemade Red Pepper Relish

We’re always trying to find ways to kick the flavor of our meals up a notch, while still staying healthy. A sauce or relish is sometimes all it takes to elevate a meal to a whole new level of flavor.

An important thing to us though, is to try and steer clear (as far as possible) of store-bought condiments, and make our own instead.

Homemade always trumps store-bought! Who’s with me?

How To Make Red Bell Pepper Relish

This red pepper relish is not only incredibly quick and easy, but it can be spicy or not. If you like spicy – leave the seeds in the red chili peppers. If you don’t like spicy – take out the seeds. Yep. That’s all it takes.
