Zucchini Relish
10 cups zucchini
4 cups Onions
5 tbsp pickling salt
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
2 1/4 cups Vinegar
3 cups sugar
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp corn starch
2 tbsp celery seed
1/2 tsp pepper
Grind* zucchini, onions, and salt and let stand overnight. Drain and rinse twice to remove salt.
Grind* red and green peppers together. Add to zucchini with remaining ingredients. Cook for 30 minutes.
Ladle while hot into sterile jars and seal. {I also processed them for 15 minutes in a canning pot of boiling water.}
Makes 5-6 pints.
*Grind is old school speak for use a food processor. Just a little at a time and it comes out perfect.
NOTES:
-One HUGE and one medium size zucchini made ten cups.
-1 1/2 HUGE onions made four cups.
We have loads of cookbooks, but there are a few that we come back to time after time. Lots of the modern books are intended merely to make their authors sound good, and the recipes are often a bit suspect.
