Victor’s Spicy Sweet Gherkin Relish – 12 oz Jar

SH' THAT'S HOT! is a veteran-owned, family-operated business based in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Co-founders Shane Christensen and Shelli Ulrich turned kitchen sauce-making and a college business-plan project into a business after coworkers asked for more. Their focus is distinctive, balanced flavor, with a commitment to giving back to the veteran community.

Sweet gherkin relish with a little heat

Victor's Spicy Relish combines sweet gherkins with hot wax banana peppers, dill pickles, onions and seasonings. The maker describes a sweet relish with a little heat, offering a spoonable alternative to the brand's bottled hot sauces. It comes in a listed 12 oz jar.

Shelli added the relish to the range in 2019 to honor her late grandfather Vic, who ran a pickle plant in Colorado. That family connection explains the name; it does not establish where the current relish is manufactured or that it contains the same recipe used at his plant.

Sandwich & cookout serving ideas

• Base: sweet gherkins and dill pickles.
• Heat ingredient: hot wax banana peppers.
• Seasonings: garlic, mustard powder and celery seed.
• Package: one 12 oz jar of relish.

Spoon a little onto a hot dog, bratwurst or sandwich when you want sweetness, pickle flavor and pepper in the same topping. For a spread, mix a small amount with your usual mayonnaise or mustard in a separate bowl. Taste that portion before preparing enough for a whole tray of sandwiches.

At a cookout, provide a clean serving spoon and let guests add relish to their own plates. Keep the main jar away from used cutlery and other foods. The gallery shows relish served with a sausage, but that photograph is a serving suggestion; meat, bread and other toppings are not included.

Jar quantity & origin

This listing contains one jar with the maker's stated 12 oz package quantity. It is relish, not a hot-sauce bottle or a mixed condiment set. A complete current rear-label photograph would help verify net contents, nutrition and after-opening directions.

Country of origin: unverified for the finished relish. The company's South Carolina address and the historical Colorado family story do not document production country.

Shipping & returns for Victor's Spicy Relish

Verified supplier dispatch times, destination eligibility and delivery estimates for this item are not available. Current shipping charges and fulfillment arrangements for a BuyAmerican order need confirmation; no free-shipping offer or delivery deadline is promised here.

The supplier states that it does not accept returns and offers exchanges in person only. Report a damaged, defective or incorrect item promptly so the issue can be assessed. Its page also contains generic exchange instructions that do not clearly establish a mail-order exception. Confirm the applicable BuyAmerican instructions before sending this product back.

Ingredients & preservative information

The maker lists sweet gherkins containing cucumbers, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, alum and 0.1% sodium benzoate preservative; distilled white vinegar; hot wax banana peppers; dill pickles; onions; granulated sugar; salt; garlic; mustard powder; and celery seed.

Because sodium benzoate is declared within the gherkins, this relish is not described as preservative-free. Mustard and celery ingredients also matter when checking personal dietary restrictions. The published statement does not supply every subingredient of the dill pickles or a complete shared-equipment advisory.

Storage & serving care

Follow the storage and best-by directions on the package you receive. Product-specific after-opening instructions have not been verified from a complete current label. Keep the container closed between servings, use a clean utensil and avoid introducing water or other foods into the remaining product.

Begin with a small amount on a separate portion of food and taste before seasoning an entire meal. Serving sauce in its own dish lets each person choose an amount they enjoy. If you blend it into mayonnaise, yogurt or a dressing, follow the storage requirements of that mixture as well as the sauce label.

For dietary restrictions, check the current ingredient label. See the FDA's allergen-label guidance. No blanket allergen-free status is verified.
