Welcome to THP Mark...
Here is a recipe I used recently and was quite pleased with the results.
....of course you can substitute and use any pepper variety.
Datil Pepper Relish
Chop Fine:
1/2 cup seeded Datil peppers.
1 medium onion
1 medium bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
In a LARGE pot, mix:
1 pint of cider vinegar
1 pint ketchup
3 Tablespoons of sugar
1 Teaspoon of salt
Blend well and add the chopped ingredients
Bring to a boil while stirring gently
Simmer as low as possible for about 40-45 minutes until thickened
Reduces to about 1/3 to 1/2 when thick enough.
Boil jars and add hot mix to the shoulder of the jar.
Keep in refrigerator or process in a hot water for 10 minutes

Made one test batch, which made just at 2 pints -- I used Aji Lemon peppers instead of Datils.
Second batch, which used the rest of my peppers -- around 200 of them -- I modified slightly. Cut the ketchup from 1:1 with vinegar to 2:1 vinegar:ketchup. Also added cumin, garlic and smoked paprika. Made 12 pints of the second batch.
Went over well at work today!

I ended up making some relish and it came out real well. Since I had quite a variety of peppers I decided to use most all of them.I used bell,sweet banana,poblano,hungarain hot,jalapeno,cayenne,serrano,super chile,habanero and a few others. It was quite the mix.I used alot more of the hotter varieties than the sweet.I chopped up all the peppers in the food processor and then chopped up around half as much onion and a good amount of fresh garlic and some kosher salt.I put it in a large pan and added apple cider vinegar up to the top. I brought the mix up to a boil. As i was doing this I tasted a few times and added more habaneros.Then I put the mix in clean jars and water bathed for 15 min.The relish came out much better than I would have ever expected. I ended up with 22 jelly jars and 3 pint jars. It does have a pretty good bite to it, but the heat is not overpowering.It's great in scrambled eggs, awesome on hot dogs and even went into a meatloaf. After giving some to friends and now they want more I think I try this again...Mark
