Time 12h

Yield 112

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
4 cups chopped onion
5 tablespoons canning salt
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
6 cups white sugar
2 ½ cups white vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the zucchini and onion in a large, non-metallic bowl, and sprinkle the salt overtop. Use your hands to evenly mix the salt throughout the zucchini. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • The following day, drain the zucchini in a colander, and rinse well with cool water. Squeeze out excess water and set aside. Place the red and green bell pepper, sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch into a large pot. Add the nutmeg, turmeric, celery seed and pepper. Stir to combine, then add the drained zucchini. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sterilize 7 one-pint jars and lids to hold relish. Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
  • Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Use small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and blemish-free. Avoid large zucchini, as they tend to be watery and less flavorful.
  • Prepare the zucchini properly: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the zucchini into small pieces or grate it, depending on the recipe.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables will give your chutney the best flavor. If you can, use ingredients from your own garden or a local farmer's market.
  • Cook the chutney slowly: Simmering the chutney over low heat will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Be patient and don't rush the process.
  • Taste the chutney as you go: Adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more sugar if you want it sweeter, more vinegar if you want it tangier, or more spices if you want it spicier.
  • Can or freeze the chutney: Once the chutney is cooked, it can be canned or frozen for later use. Canning is a great way to preserve the chutney for up to a year, while freezing is a good option for shorter-term storage.
