Boston cucumber relish
Swedish relish of finely chopped sweet-and-sour pickled cucumber with red pepper, onion and mustard seed.
Bostongurka is the everyday Swedish cucumber relish served with sausages and fried potato dishes, sweet-sour with a slight crunch. Under that name it is sold in Scandinavian food shops or by mail order, but an ordinary sweet pickle relish from the supermarket comes very close.
Substitute:
Supermarket sweet pickle relish, ideally with a little finely chopped red pepper stirred in; failing that, finely chopped sweet-sour gherkins with a pinch of sugar, which taste somewhat sharper and less spiced.
