Start by preparing the spicy pepper relish.

Add 2 cups of white vinegar to a pot.

Dice 1 cup of green bell pepper and 1 cup of red bell pepper, then add them to the pot.

Add 1/3 cup of diced chili monzano and 1 diced serrano chili (seeds left in) to the pot.

Add 1/4 cup of finely minced onion to the pot.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground doll spice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Add about 1/8 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the pot and stir quickly to combine.

Simmer the relish at a high simmer, stirring often, for about 4 hours, adding 2 cups of water as it reduces.

Prepare the hot dogs by separating them and making three cuts on each hot dog.

Heat oil in a deep pan and add the hot dogs, cooking until they float and start to split open.

Keep the hot dog buns warm on a warming table or in a warm area.

Transfer the cooked hot dogs to a flat top grill to finish cooking.

Lay down spicy brown mustard on each hot dog.

Top the first hot dog with the homemade spicy pepper relish, and the second one with the store-bought version.

Serve the hot dogs and taste both versions of the relish.
