Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Place the whole bell peppers, jalapeños, and red chili peppers on the prepared cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the peppers are blistered and slightly charred.

Allow the peppers to cool completely.

Cut off the tops of the peppers, slice them in half, and scrape out the seeds and white membrane. Discard these parts.

Place the flesh of the peppers into a food processor. Add the honey, rice wine vinegar, salt, and fresh ground pepper.

Pulse until the mixture reaches your desired consistency.

Transfer the relish to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Char Your Peppers Evenly 🔥
Roast peppers directly over a flame or under the broiler until the skin is completely blackened on all sides, then steam in a covered bowl for 10 minutes—this makes them peel effortlessly and develops deep, smoky sweetness.
Balance Heat with Honey 🍯
Add honey gradually while tasting, as it mellows the heat from jalapeños and chili peppers while creating a more complex flavor—start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to your preference.
Use Rice Wine Vinegar's Delicate Edge 🍶
Rice wine vinegar has lower acidity than standard vinegars, so it won't overpower the peppers; add it after cooking and let the relish sit for 24 hours to allow flavors to marry beautifully.
Remove Seeds Strategically for Control 🌶️
Leave jalapeño and chili pepper seeds in for maximum heat, or remove most seeds for a milder relish with pure pepper flavor—this gives you precise control over spice level.
Emulsify with Quality Olive Oil 🫒
Slowly drizzle premium extra-virgin olive oil while blending or whisking to create a silky, cohesive relish that coats better on meats and sandwiches rather than appearing watery.
