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! Ingredients:
3 large zucchini, peeled and seeded |
1/2 cup table salt |
5 large cooking onions, sliced fine |
5 cups sugar |
6 cups vinegar |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
4 tablespoons mustard seeds |
2 teaspoons turmeric |
6 tablespoons flour |
Directions:
1. Slice zucchini as thinly as possible (food processor is a big help to do this).
2. Sprinkle with the salt.
3. Let sit overnight.
4. Wash and drain the zucchini.
5. Put in a large pot, add onions to the zucchini and mix well.
6. Add sugar and 6 cups vinegar.
7. Cook on a medium-high heat, stirring often-It will easily scorch because of the sugar content.
8. In the meantime, in a separate dish mix together the mustard seed, turmeric and flour well. Add the 2 tbsp of vinegar to make a runny paste-You may need to add more vinegar.
9. Add mixture to pot and stir constantly.
10. Continue to cook mixture until it thickens (approx. 1 - 1 1/2 hour).
11. Scoop into sterilized jars and seal.
