I have to admit that sometimes I open my farm box and sigh, thinking, more jalapeƱos? I've diced them for tacos, salsas and slaws. I've stuffed them with things and broiled them. I've grilled them. I even started munching on them raw, some of them really aren't very spicy. Then I got a little overwhelmed and started tucking all the peppers in a crisper, pretending like they weren't there.
The farm box is nice because it expands my horizons in multiple ways, giving me stuff that I might not buy, but that I end up loving! But sometimes it gives me an entire crisper full of peppers that I'm not sure what to do with.
So with the peppers on my mind, I opened my fridge and started poking around. I saw italian sausages. I thought about sandwiches. I thought about condiments...and I came to conclusion that relish making would commence.
This easy relish is great on italian sausage sandwiches.

Pepper Relish
5 - 10 peppers (I used 4 Anaheim, 1 jalapeno, 2 green peppers & 2 banana peppers), seeded and chopped (about 1/3 to 1/2 inch pieces, more or less)
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 T Olive Oil
1.5 T white vinegar
1 T brown sugar
5 shakes of tabasco
2 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium to medium-low heat. Add the onion and stir frequently until translucent.
Add the peppers, salt, vinegar, brown sugar, tabasco and a couple of grinds of pepper. Stir frequently until the peppers are soft and cooked through. Add more vinegar, tabasco or sugar, to taste.
Nice looking sandwich, Sonia. Now that my wife and I have opened up to the world of jamming, I've grown very interested in making things like pickles and garnishes. They open up such a wide world of versatility in the kitchen. This sounds like something I'd really enjoy. Nice post.
