No Sugar Added Sweet Relish
What it is
This is a condiment made from finely chopped pickled cucumbers, onions, and peppers. It has a sweet and tangy flavor profile. The "no sugar added" aspect means it relies on other ingredients for its sweetness, often using artificial sweeteners or natural sugar substitutes. This makes it a choice for those looking to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying the classic taste of relish.
