INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

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

STEPS

1

Gather the ingredients.

2

Place zucchini and onion in a large, non-metallic bowl; sprinkle salt on top. Use your hands to evenly mix salt with zucchini. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

3

Drain zucchini in a colander and rinse well with cool water. Squeeze out excess water; set zucchini aside.

4

Place sugar, vinegar, red and green bell pepper, and cornstarch into a large pot. Add celery seed, nutmeg, turmeric, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then add drained zucchini. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, sterilize seven 1-pint jars and lids. Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to the top. Screw on the lids.

6

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until the tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.

7

Remove jars from the pot and place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
