Combine the vinegar, sugar, water, flour, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cucumbers and onions; boil for about 10 more minutes.

Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling each to within 1/4 inch of the top. Slide a knife or thin spatula around the inside edges of the filled jars to release any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to remove any residue. Place the lids on and screw on the rings.

Set a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil and lower the jars into the boiling water using a holder, leaving 2 inches of space between them. Add more boiling water if needed so the water level is at least 1 inch above the jar tops. Return to a rolling boil, cover, and process for about 15 minutes.
- 5
Lift the jars from the stockpot and set them on a cloth-covered or wooden surface, spaced several inches apart, until cool. When cool, press the center of each lid to check that the seal is tight (the lid does not move up or down). Store in a cool, dark place.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
