1. Prepare the vegetables
Finely chop the pickles, onion, and bell pepper. For a smoother sandwich spread, chop everything as finely as possible.
2. Combine the ingredients
Add the mustard, mayonnaise, chopped vegetables, relish, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, mustard seed, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to a large bowl.
3. Mix thoroughly
Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
4. Chill
Transfer the spread to clean glass jars or airtight containers. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight, so the flavors can blend.
5. Serve
Spread it generously on:
- Ham or turkey sandwiches
- Burgers
- Hot dogs
- Egg salad sandwiches
- Chicken sandwiches
- Wraps and rolls
- Crackers and vegetables
The flavor becomes even better after the mixture has had time to chill and develop.
Important: If you want to preserve this as a shelf-stable canned product, don’t rely on the old “hot jars and seal” method. Use a current, tested canning recipe and processing instructions from a trusted food-preservation authority. This refrigerator version should remain refrigerated.
