zucchini relishZucchini Relish

I discovered this recipe when I had an abundance of zucchini from the garden.  It is a little time consuming and has to go thru the canning process but it makes 7 pints that lasts thru to next summer. This is excellent on hot dogs and hamburgers.  Once open store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 4 months

 Time:  4 hours   Difficulty:  Moderate-hard

Recipe

  • 10 c. Zucchini, fine diced
  • 2 large onion, fine diced ( 3 cups)
  • 2 Red peppers, fine diced (1 cup)
  • 1-3/4 c. Sugar (add 1/2 c. more if you like a sweeter relish)
  • 2 c. Vinegar
  • 3 Tbls. Corn starch
  • 3 Tbls. Canning salt
  • 2 tsp. Turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp. Dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Celery seed

Use a mandolin to slice thin strips of zucchini

Amazon has a few options for mandolin’s available.

Cut crosswise to make fine diced pieces.

Place diced zucchini in a bowl and mix in the salt, let stand for 2 hours to allow the moisture to pull from the vegetable.

Julienne cut and fine dice red pepper and onions.

Put in a bowl and set aside

Measure out mustard, pepper, turmeric and celery seed

In a large 6 qt. Sauce pot bring the sugar, vinegar, corn starch and spices to a full boil, stir frequently.  Reduce to medium heat.

Drain excess water from zucchini, add to hot vinegar mixture along with the peppers and onions.  Return to a full boil stirring constantly.

While waiting get canner ready and bring water to a boil.  Clean and sterilize 7 pint size canning jars.  When our relish reaches a boil ladle hot relish into the clean hot jars, leave 1/2” headspace.  Seal with tops and hand tighten rings.  Place into boiling water, cover and return to a full boil.  Process for 10 minutes, turn off heat and leave in water bath for an additional 5 minutes.  Finely remove from canner and let cool to room temperature, check lids to make sure they have sealed.  Store for up to 2 years.

Enjoy!
