Ingredients

Directions

  1. Stem, seed, and finely slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips.
  2. Finely mince the serrano chilies, keeping seeds if desired for extra heat.
  3. Combine the sliced peppers, minced chilies, sugar, and distilled white vinegar in a large bowl and mix well.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a 10-12 inch frying pan and place over medium heat.
  5. Cook the pepper mixture uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture thickens, about 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and allow the relish to cool completely before serving or storing.
