    I know, I say this for every new recipe I try, but this Oscar Relish is my new favorite food! What can I say, I like food! Don’t judge! 🙂 It is sweet, yet tangy. The perfect condiment to replace boring ketchup! It more resembles a chutney than a relish and is great with meat, fish, chicken, pork and eggs (The list that I have tried so far)!

    Oscar Relish

    In September I had so many peaches and tomatoes to use up! I had to come up with some new, different recipes! I stumbled on this Oscar Relish and knew I had to make this! Mostly because it used both peaches and tomatoes!

    It more resembles a chutney to me, but it’s not spicy hot. It is such a great condiment! I’m crazy about it! I’ve tried to research the origins of it but have come up with nothing! If anyone knows, please leave me a comment below.

    I love different condiments! I get tired of boring ketchup, mayo and mustards. This condiment fits the bill for different! The flavor is hard to describe! It has a hint of sweetness from the peaches. A bit of heat from the ground hot pepper and a bit of tang from the vinegar!

    How to Can Oscar Relish

    Like most relishes, this Oscar Relish could not be easier! Just peel the tomatoes and peaches, chop them up! Stem and seed peppers and chop then just grind the onion and peppers in the food processor.

    Then you just cook it down for a couple of hours.

      This looks and sounds delicious! I’d love to have a big jar in the fridge ready to dress up burgers and who knows what else? Sorry if this is a silly question – is pickling spice something you can usually find at the regular grocery store? I don’t do much pickling or canning, so just don’t know where to find it!

        You can find it in most larger grocery stores. I actually make my own. It’s just a bunch of spices you already have in your pantry! Great idea! I’ll do a post on that for you! Thanks Monica!

      What a great sauce. Forget about ketchup, just have this Oscar Relish. I never use ketchup anyway. The story of this recipe probably is: a farmer called Oscar had so many peaches and tomatoes to use up that he came up with this recipe. Have you checked if you have a neighbour called Oscar?

      This is positively mouthwatering! I’d never think to combine tomatoes with peaches, but it makes so much sense. The color of the relish, along with the chunky texture is just to die for. Beautiful photos too, Beth!

        Thanks so much Lisa! That’s high praise coming from you Lisa! I’ve seen peach salsas that include tomatoes which I thought, no way! This get nice and caramelized so they end up being great together!
