Easy Apple Jalapeno Relish

August 25, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Thank you Breton for sponsoring this post. Make everyday entertaining better with Breton!

Sweet and tangy with a hint of heat, this Easy Apple Jalapeno Relish is a great condiment to add to any number of things, but it’s equally delicious on its own as a cracker topping.

With apple season literally just around the corner, I wanted to ease into autumn with a dish that works equally well served summer or fall: relish! What could be more appropriate between seasons than a condiment made with fall fruit that is perfect on just about any summer supper you can grill up?

Once upon a time, I was not a relish fan. I was the type who’d get a hot dog with “the works”, minus the relish component (which of course isn’t really “the works” at all). As an adult I realized the folly of my ways and now fully embrace the sweet/tart flavor of relish as a condiment on a sandwich, grilled hot dog, or sausage; baked into burgers; as part of a charcuterie or cheese board; or just as a cracker topping on its own.

I paired this relish with Breton Artisanal Cranberry and Ancient Grains crackers, which are made with wholesome, real ingredients such as ancient grains like spelt and amaranth, and have cranberry pieces baked in. They’re perfect for keeping on hand and pulling out when you want a quick bite (I love these crackers on their own for munching), or for when people pop by and you want to put together a fast nibble.

The cranberry in these crackers pairs particularly well with this sweet/tart apple relish that has just a hint of heat. To add another level of flavor and complexity to these nibbles, top each cracker with a slice of cheese (sharp white cheddar is delicious here) before spooning on the relish.

What are some of your favorite cracker toppings?

    Love this recipe and we have surplus apples on our tree. The only problem is we cannot get those delicious biscuits here. With a name like Breton you would expect them to be French!!! Have a good week Diane
