How to Make Sweet Relish in your Vitamix

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness, while brown sugar offers a similar flavor profile.

vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is often more affordable and adds a different flavor.

onion

💰Cheaper: green onion

Green onion is a milder option and often less expensive.

mustard seeds

💰Cheaper: ground mustard

Ground mustard can be a more accessible alternative.

Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the Vitamix.

Add 2 tablespoons of salt.

Use stevia instead of sugar.

Chop cucumbers into golf ball-sized pieces and drop them into the Vitamix.

Add a tiny bit of cabbage to the Vitamix.

Put the cover on the Vitamix.

Blend on variable speed one and pulse for about 10-15 times, using the tamper to push ingredients down into the blade.

Once blended, put the mixture over heat to let it reduce and thicken.

Check the texture to ensure it's perfect for relish, with tiny pieces evenly chopped up.

If desired, add honey for sweetness or drain some vinegar if too liquidy.

Refrigerate before serving to ensure it's cold.
