Ingredients:

1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 tsp ginger
1.80g
2 squashes
910g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.45g
1/2 cup vinegar
120g
3/4 cup onion
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Squash:
- Begin by peeling the butternut squashes. Cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. Dice the squash into small, uniform cubes for even cooking.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the diced butternut squash, chopped onion, grated ginger, salt, sugar, ground red pepper, and vinegar.
3. Cook the Mixture:
- Place the pot over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
4. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Cook the mixture for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick, relish-like consistency.
5. Check Seasoning:
- Taste the relish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or sugar based on your preference.
6. Cool and Store:
- Once cooked to your desired consistency, remove the pot from heat. Allow the relish to cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the cooled relish into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Tips:

- 1. Make sure to finely chop the butternut squash to ensure a smooth consistency in your relish.

- 2. Simmer the relish on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.

- 3. Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

- 4. Adjust the amount of red pepper to suit your spice preference.

- 5. If you prefer a sweeter relish, you can increase the amount of sugar slightly.

- 6. Allow the relish to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and flavor.

Your spiced butternut squash and ginger relish is now ready to be enjoyed! This versatile and flavorful condiment can enhance various dishes, adding a touch of sweetness and spice. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and relish the taste whenever you want to add a little zing to your meals.
