Family Gourmet Sweet Relish
What it is
This is a sweet relish, a condiment made from finely chopped pickled cucumbers. It has a bright green color and a tangy, sweet flavor profile. The texture is slightly chunky due to the chopped pieces of cucumber. It is typically preserved in a brine that includes vinegar, sugar, and spices. This specific package contains a small 15-gram portion, suitable for single servings or trying out the product.
