Steps:
- Toss zucchini, onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper with kosher salt in a large bowl. Allow vegetables to rest for 8 hours; rinse and drain vegetables thoroughly.
- Heat vegetables, sugar, cider vinegar, cornstarch, celery seed, and turmeric over medium heat until thickened, about 50 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the zucchini mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

ZUCCHINI RELISH
This is a sweet relish that is made from all the zucchini that people give you during the summer. I have been making this for a good many years. Once you make your own relish, you will never want to buy it. It calls for chopped veggies and I do chop them first, but then put them in the food processor for a couple of seconds. You do not want it mush, but I like it a tad finer than I can chop.

GRANDMAS TASTY ZUCCHINI RELISH
I'll be honest-I never tried this relish when my grandma served it because I wasn't too keen on the look of it. This year I "inherited" 15 zucchini and have been told I'll be "inheriting" more. Out of desperation, I decided to make a batch of her relish. I reasoned that everyone else in the family loves it-I'll give it to them. Now that I've actually eaten it-I'm not sharing. This is not only a great way to use up a bumper crop of zucchini it's a great condiment!

- Add mixture to pot and stir constantly.
- Continue to cook mixture until it thickens (approx. 1 - 1 1/2 hour).
- Scoop into sterilized jars and seal.
GRANDMA'S ZUCCHINI RELISH
This is a great recipe that is good on burger's and hot dogs. It is also great as an accompaniment to meat and potatoes. I double or triple this recipe every fall when Zucchini are plentiful. I usually end up giving a jar of this to everyone who tries it. Prep time is approximate and does not include sitting overnight. I cut my prep time by using a food processor to grate the veggies.
