Time 8h45m

Yield 100

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 cups shredded zucchini
4 cups chopped onion
5 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
5 cups white sugar
1 red bell pepper, chopped
14 half pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Toss zucchini and onion with salt in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight to drain. Rinse vegetables with cold water and drain well.
  • Mix dry mustard, celery seed, nutmeg, and black pepper in a bowl.
  • Heat vinegar, sugar, spice mix, zucchini mixture, and red bell pepper in a large pot over medium heat. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the vegetables 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 25 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



Zucchini Relish image

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.
