Spicy Hot Dog Relish with Jalapeños

Instructions:

1. Combine the diced cabbage, onion, and bell peppers in a large bowl.
2. Sprinkle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of salt, toss thoroughly, and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
3. Pour the mixture into a colander, rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt, and pat dry with a towel.
4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the ¾ cup apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, celery seed, mustard seed, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika.
5. Stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid begins to simmer.
6. Add the rinsed vegetable mixture and minced jalapeños to the saucepan.
7. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half and vegetables are translucent.
8. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and additional salt to taste.
9. Transfer to sterile glass mason jars and chill for 4 hours before serving to allow flavors to develop.
