This homemade pickle relish is a vibrant, tangy alternative to shop-bought varieties, offering a much fresher flavour with significantly less sugar. By using crisp Kirby cucumbers and sharp white vinegar, you create a versatile condiment that balances sweetness with a distinct acidic bite. The secret to the perfect texture lies in draining the vegetables thoroughly, ensuring the finished relish remains thick and crunchy rather than watery.

As a refined low-sugar option, this recipe is ideal for health-conscious cooks looking to brighten up their summer barbecues or mid-week meals. It pairs beautifully with grilled halloumi, classic beef burgers, or stirred into a creamy tartare sauce for fish. Being easy to prepare in small batches, it is a fantastic staple to keep in the fridge for adding a zingy, homemade touch to sandwiches and salads.

Ingredients for Homemade Pickle Relish

300g finely chopped cucumber (about 3 Kirby cucumbers)
80g finely chopped onion
120ml distilled white vinegar
60 ml socker
1 teaspoon cornflour dissolved in 1 teaspoon water

How to make Homemade Pickle Relish

Toss cucumber and onion with 3/4 teaspoons salt in a sieve set over a bowl and drain 3 hours. Discard liquid from bowl. Wrap cucumber and onion in a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Bring vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then boil until reduced to about 80g , 3 to 4 minutes. Add cucumber-onion mixture and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir cornflour mixture, then stir into relish. Simmer, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer relish to a bowl and chill, uncovered, until cold, about 1 1/2 hours.
