Friend dropped this nice bag of Vidalia onions by the office so I thought I'd makes some onion relish.
We eat a lot of relish and I've been tweaking recipes for some time now trying to find the perfect blend of flavor. To me, this hits perfection pretty close. Am glad too because I've made a little over 3 gallons so we will be eating it for a while.
Canned and ready for another day.
