Instructions
Stir-fry the bacon on medium heat until crispy and golden brown, set aside.
In the same frying pan add the onions, garlic, and mustard seeds together in the bacon fat for about 10 minutes, scraping all the bits of bacon as you stir-fry.
Stir in the sherry and sugar, and let the liquid reduce by half and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in all the leftover ingredients.
Add the bacon back into the pan and cook until thick and syrupy for another 10 minutes or more.
Spoon out the relish in a 500ml sterilized jar, let it cool then refrigerate, that allows the flavors to marry.
