• 4 cups finely chopped Vidalia onions
• 
  
• 2 cups white sugar
• 
  
• 2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 
  
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
• 
  
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
•

Instructions:

In a large pot, combine the diced peaches and finely chopped Vidalia onions

Combine the brown sugar, red pepper flakes, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, white sugar, and yellow mustard seeds in a different bowl

Over the peaches and onions in the pot, pour the mixture of sugar and vinegar

To allow the flavors to meld, stir everything together and let it sit for about half an hour

Stirring constantly, place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil

Once the relish thickens and reaches the right consistency, reduce the heat to low and simmer it for 45 to 60 minutes

To keep from sticking, stir from time to time

When the relish is done, take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little

Fill sterilized jars with Vidalia Onion and Peach Relish, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top

To make sure the jars are properly sealed, seal them tightly and process them in a boiling water bath for ten to fifteen minutes

After taking the jars out of the water bath, allow them to reach room temperature

To allow the flavors to develop, label and keep the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks before using

Use your homemade Vidalia Onion and Peach Relish as a cheese and cracker topping or as a condiment for sandwiches or grilled meats
