"Rachel, where do I find your video on how to make Zucchini Relish?" After getting that question about 200 times, it's finally here! Our favorite way to use up all that zucchini ♥ We use this on burgers, hot dogs, to make up tartar sauce, etc. It's really amazing stuff! You can follow along in the video, or here is what Rachel has written down in her book. I think in the video she made a 2x or 1.5x batch.
12 C shredded zucchini
4 C chopped onion
5 Tbsp canning salt
2 sweet bell peppers chopped
4 C white vinegar
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp mustard powder
3/4 tsp tumeric
1 1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp pepper
3 C sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 inch headspace, 15 minute water bath ♥

I make this zucchini relish ALOT! I have a lot of friends that love it. Wanted to tell you, once you rinse the squash, use a salad spinner to get all water out of it. This works fantastic!

This recipe is very similar to the one in the book "Company's Coming" zucchini relish. I have been making this relish for some years now and people who don't and won't eat zucchini or vegetables for that matter love this relish. I just don't tell them it is zucchini in the jar. It too is one of the most requested canning items I make!! So good!!!

We were introduced to squash relish, chow chow, whatever 3 years ago and have been canning ours for the last two. We use straightneck squash. Also some corn (plus much of your other goodies.). Tumeric is the workhorse. I'm not sure I even heard of that before. I love it on hotdogs and my wife puts it on top of beanies with cornbread. Our recipe is very similar to yours. For the fans, you don't know what you're missing if you don't make up a load. It's a GREAT way to get rid of some of those pesky garden squashes too! Super thanks for your video!

Love this. Ever since I started adding my zucchini to my pasta sauce and any meat mixtures, it seems I never have enough zucchini. We only grow one variety that doesn't produce much, comparatively (Costata Romanesca), and we do fight a bunch of plant killing bugs. We grew it because that one tasted so good to us, and not as "squashy" ( says my husband).So I'm contemplating those high production other varieties now for these applications! lol
