INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥒 10 small zucchini, ends trimmed
    • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed and seeded
    • 🧅 4 onions, peeled

  • Dry Goods

    • 🧂 3 tablespoons salt
    • 4 cups white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon celery seed
    • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • Liquid Ingredients

    • 2 ¼ cups vinegar

  • Thickener

    • ¼ cup cornstarch

  • Canning Supplies

    • 🍶 12 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

STEPS

1

Run zucchini, red bell pepper, and onions through a meat grinder. Transfer ground zucchini mixture to a large bowl; sprinkle with salt. Refrigerate zucchini mixture, overnight or at least 10 hours.

2

Pour zucchini mixture into a large pot; add sugar, vinegar, celery seed, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir cornstarch into mixture; continue boiling until thickened, about 5 more minutes.

3

Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish 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.

4

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

5

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). Store in a cool, dark area.
