The general taste of relish should be mild or hot, sweet or savory, and always feature a strong flavor.

You can quickly and easily make your own relish at home especially if your garden is producing an abundance of cucumbers every year.
To make about five half pint jars of sweet pickle relish you will need about 2 cups of cucumbers, three quarters of a cup of chopped Vidalia onions, a tablespoon of sea salt, a half tablespoon of pickling salt, half cup of white vinegar, and three quarters of a cup of white sugar.
Combine everything together in a large pan and bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
