Sweet Pepper Relish

I was at Central Market a few weeks ago. They often have snacks set out for tasting, and this time they had some sweet pepper relish. It was awesome. I wanted to eat the entire bowl right there. However, I couldn’t bring myself to buy a jar of the stuff. Six bucks is too much for me when it comes to a dip. Plus a quick peek at the ingredients let me know that I had everything I needed at home to make it.

Sweet Pepper Relish
makes approx 2 cups

4 San Marzano (or Roma) tomatoes, peeled and chopped
5 sweet peppers, seeded and chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp salt
dash cinnamon
1/2 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp paprika

Combine all ingredients in a pot and cook on low, stirring often, until peppers and tomatoes have broken down and mixture has thickened. Pour into a container and let cool to thicken more. Store in fridge.
