I would believe you can can this relish… but I am not sure. I am not positive I have the exact acid ratio for preservation… However, it should a long time in the refrigerator; maybe up to a month.
Gerardo Guzman says
Could this recipe be canned? If so can you ptovide the recipe/instructions to do so?
Katie says
Thank you so much Judi for letting me know! I am so GLAD you enjoyed it!! You made my day!!
Judi says
I made this and used a lot of hot peppers from the garden. We love it! We had it on tacos and I have cooked it in sauces. I just put it on Jasmine rice with grated Mexican cheese! A new rice dish, so delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Silpa says
Nice recipe.. great blog with delicious recipes.
Katie says
I honestly am not sure. I wish I knew. I have only canned jelly, so I am unsure of the correct acid ratio to can this to not spoil. I am sorry. It should last a couple of weeks with refrigeration. It never lasts more than a few days in my home. We top it on everything like we would a hot sauce or salsa. It is just very hot.
Shelley Lhamon says
How did you alter this recipe to can?
Katie says
It should be good for about 1 week refrigerated, maybe longer. However, if you freeze it, it will become watery. If you are using it as a spice in cooking, that won’t matter much. But if you are using it as a relish, it won’t be an optimal result. It would be the same as freezing fresh salsa..
Mauro says
I have to try this. Does this freeze well so it can be saved in smaller portions?
Naida Darling says
One more thing, might I suggest you make and freeze it for easy use. These type of sauces freeze really well.
Naida Darling says
You would either need to add a large amount of vinegar or use a pressure canner to avoid the dangers of botulism and other food borne bacterium. That’s the problem with wanting to can certain recipes, adding so much vinegar changes the product completely and most people don’t have access to or know how to use pressure canners.
Lou Anne says
Just made and tasted- amazing!! Doubled the recipe and canning in jelly jars- it is that good! We went right to taste testing on crackers. Can’t wait to try it on eggs, breakfast sandwiches, on cream cheese and crackers, so many ideas!! Thanks???
Katie says
I honestly couldn’t tell you. I have only canned jelly and pickles. I don’t know enough about canning to give you a safe answer. I am sorry.
D says
I would like to can this, what do you think I would need to do to adjust this to be able to can some?
Katie says
At least 2 weeks, but I am not sure how much longer….
Donnita Wilson says
How long do you think this will this last in the refrigerator?
Christine says
