How To Make sweet zucchini relish
-
Step 1Toss zucchini, onions, and celery well with the canning salt in a large bowl. Let stand overnight or 8 hours.
-
Step 2Drain into a colander and rinse 3 or 4 times to make sure all of the salt is off of the zucchini mixture. Press by hand to get rid of any excess moisture.
-
Step 3In large pot, mix dry ingredients well then mix with vinegar and add zucchini mixture and the green and red peppers. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1/2 hour on med low heat, stirring occasionally. I use both white and apple cider vinegar.
-
Step 4Ladle into sterile jars. Run a thin utensil through relish to get rid of any bubbles. Wipe rim clean with a wet paper towel. Place a sterile lid and then screw on ring. Repeat until you have filled 7 pints. Process in hot water bath for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
