A pickle relish is basically just a way to get more seasoning into your food. There are two types of relish, pickling relish, and refrigerator relish. Pickling relish is a more intense pickle, and refrigerator relish is the kind you would typically find at the grocery store. For pickling relish, there are two main steps, pickling and fermenting. The pickling is what you do first, where you soak your pickles in brine, vinegar, or a pickle brine mixture. The brine you use will be a part of the recipe, so you’ll probably need to figure that out if you don’t already have it. After pickling, the next step is fermenting, where you leave your pickles somewhere warm to allow bacteria to start growing on them. This means you’ll want to pickle them for a couple days, and then leave them somewhere warm for a week or two after you take them out of the jar. Here are some recipes for pickling relish:\n\nThis recipe is called “Hot Dog Relish” and it seems to be a super basic recipe: You just need to soak your pickles in vinegar and water for a couple days.\n\nHere’s another simple recipe called “Easy Pickle Relish” that uses a jar of relish mix, then just adds pickles and red peppers:\n\nFor refrigerator relish, you use your pickling recipe to make pickle juice, and then you add the juice to some vegetables and maybe some extra spices. I can’t tell if you meant to put the pickles in the relish, or if you just meant to eat them. If you want to put the pickles in the relish, then you will probably use brine instead of pickle juice, since pickle juice is really just brine that has some salt dissolved in it.", "role": "assistant" } ]
