Condiment: Sweet Pickle Relish

HI everyone! We made some Lower East Side Patties (sorry no pictures...i forgot). They are yummy raw food burgers made of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, broccoli, red onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, carraway seeds, lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt. Since I made burgers I had to make the condiments, so my next few posts will be from that category...then we have a dessert coming...YUM! Here is a picture of the burger, bun, and condiments:

About the Recipe:

A sweet and tangy relish reminiscent of the days of old. The flavors develop after sitting overnight or for several hours. My score: 4/5.

Items Needed:

Mixing bowls

Measuring cups

Spatula

Potato peeler

Spoon

Ingredients

1 cucumber (I like to use Japanese cucumbers)

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons raw honey or organic evaporated cane juice

2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds (I was out so I use powder)

1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Peel cucumber

, cut in half, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. 

Finely dice cucumber. 

Mix in apple cider vinegar

, honey, whole coriander seeds, and sea salt. Allow to stand 4-6 hours or overnight to marry the flavors.
