<p>We just got a big gift box of Harry & David stuff, including 2 jars of pepper and onion relish. What does one do with this product?</p>
<p>[Sweet</a> Pepper & Onion Relish - Home Cooking](<a href=“http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art2815.asp]Sweet”>Sweet Pepper & Onion Relish - Home Cooking) says it’s great on burgers.</p>
<p>It’s very spicy, which I love. I’ve used it on burgers as well as a condiment with steaks and chicken.</p>
<p>I think I would like it in an omelet or a baked potato.</p>
<p>I have a friend who loves it mixed with cream cheese. She uses it as a spread or dip.</p>
<p>I was just thinking the same thing - or maybe nonfat sour cream. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t like it if it were too sweet, but I know once I made tapenade I used it with everything.</p>
<p>Put it on crackers or use it in place of salsa in your “chips with salsa”</p>
<p>See, why would I ever go anywhere else for info? These are amazing ideas–thanks!</p>
<p>Mmmmm…. Harry & David…. I could eat their pepper and onion relish right out of the jar.</p>
<p>This relish is terrific on grilled hot dogs and other grilled sausages. (Actually, it goes well with all grilled meats.) It also goes well with baked or fried ham, pork roast, and baked or broiled chicken. It’s a good meat marinade ingredient, especially for tough cuts of beef. You can also add it (in small amounts–a little goes a long way) to pasta sauce, stew, and soup. It can be mixed into potato salad, cole slaw, and cold pasta salad. It’s a good cottage cheese topping. You can make your own nacho cheese by adding it to melted sharp cheddar. It’s a good breakfast condiment, especially as a topping on scrambled eggs, omelets, and home fries.</p>
<p>If it’s too spicy for you, or if you just hate the flavor, you can use it to clean cooking pot bottoms and gunked-up stovetop/oven grates and grill grates. (Any tomato-based relish or sauce–even ketchup–can be used this way, but the spiciest sauces work best.) Spread it on, let it set for an hour or two, then wash it off with soap and hot water. It’s non-toxic, and it works. </p>
<p>Harry & David products are top-quality. Enjoy!</p>
<p>I would try it on some blanched haricots…maybe just because I am in the mood for some.
Stop making me hungry :)</p>
<p>Grill some halibut steaks and add a couple of spoonfuls to them when there’s about 3 minutes left to cook.</p>
<p>Yummy.</p>
<p>You got me hungry and I started to look for my homemade chutney. Found instead, a jar of kiwi jam. Dang those seeds.</p>
<p>It has been a huge hit at work to make the dip. The directions are in the little folder on top of the jar. You mix one 8 ounce cream cheese with 1/2 jar relish and serve with tortilla chips. Yum!</p>
<p>Agreed - my husband’s cousin makes the dip with the cream cheese with this stuff and serves it with fancy crackers as an appetizer. Good stuff.</p>
<p>There was nothing on the top of the jar. I do have cream cheese though. Looking forward to it!</p>
<p>I thought it was intended to be used as a sex aid. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Now I finally know what to do with that jar sitting in my pantry since Christmas! Mixing it with cream cheese sounds yummy.</p>
<p>Bethievt,
I haven’t bought any of this in 6 months or so, but some jars do/did have little accordion folders attached on the lid. I have noticed that there are 2 sizes of jars - one size sold at “regular” Harry & David stores and one size (slightly smaller)sold at the outlet stores such as the one I visit at Opry Mills in Nashville. If you have a big jar (they used to be hexagonal, but I haven’t had one of those in a long time), you may want to mix slightly less than half a jar and do a little taste testing since you can always add more.</p>
<p>I think I have the small jars.</p>
<p>Sounds like something I have to try. My all time favorite is Stonewall Kitchen’s Roasted Garlic Onion Jam. Wonderful with leg of lamb!</p>
