Strawberry Chile Relish

Serve size:  Yields 3 cups of relish    Prep Time: 5 minutes    Cook Time: 40 min    Total Time: 45 min 

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ripe local strawberries, rinsed, hulled and sliced

• 1 Tbsp Montana Mex Mild Chile Seasoning

• 3 Tbsp Montana Mex Sweet Seasoning

• ¼ cup Montana Mex Sweet & Spicy Habanero Sauce

• 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

• ¾ cup sugar 

• Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Add all ingredients into a saucepan and simmer on medium heat for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you like a thicker consistency, let it simmer a little longer to allow more of the moisture to evaporate (stirring to keep from burning). The consistency you want is somewhere between a syrup and jam.
2. Allow to cool, and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for immediate use, or pop into the freezer and forget about it until the winter, when you REALLY crave berries.
