Zucchini Pickle Relish

This savor is absolutely delicious together with nosotros purpose it inward everything from tuna fish salad, to white patato salad, to hot dogs, you lot refer it.........NO ONE has EVER guessed it is made alongside zucchini, it simply tastes similar the BEST breadstuff together with butter pickle savor you lot conduct EVER eaten !!!

12 cups unpeeled zucchini (chopped small)

3 cups sweetness onion (chopped small)
1 loving cup celery (chopped small)
2 large scarlet bell peppers (chopped small)
2 cups peeled carrots (chopped small)
1 loving cup pickling* common salt (see of import note)
3 cups white vinegar
3 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 teaspoons DRY mustard powder
1 tablespoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon dark pepper
1 tablespoon corn starch

Wash together with dry the vegetables earlier cutting them (the alone 1 you lot should pare is the carrot). Coarsley chop the vegetables, together with then pose them inward the nutrient processor (2 or 3 cups at a time) together with pulse them a few times to give-up the ghost the pieces pocket-size plenty for a proficient savor (but non likewise small). The chop size should await similar this:

Measure the vegetables AFTER you lot chop 
them inward the nutrient processor.

Mix the pocket-size chopped vegetables together with 1 loving cup of pickling salt. Place this mixture (covered) inward refrigerator overnight (The common salt volition depict excess wet out of the veggies).

IMPORTANT NOTE: After the vegetables conduct chilled overnight, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you lot rinse the common salt off of them. I rinse the chopped veggies 3 times (in pocket-size batches).

Whatever method you lot select to rinse the common salt off, simply brand certain you lot rinse, rinse, rinse then crush equally much H2O out of the chopped veggies equally you lot can(I purpose my salad spinner). Set aside.

In a large, non-aluminum, pot, mix the vinegar, sugar, celery seed, spices together with corn starch. Bring to a boil (to dissolve the sugar). Add all of the rinsed vegetables to the pot and convey BACK to a boil. Once it is boiling hard, plough estrus to medium depression together with GENTLY boil everything for twenty minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so.

While the savor is simmering, sterilize vii pint jars together with vii (two piece) screw on lids. I exercise this past times putting the JARS through a hot bike inward my dishwasher. Keep the jars inward the (unopened) hot dishwasher afterwards the concluding cycle.

For the LIDS, I simply launder them alongside hot soapy water, rinse them good together with and then pour boiling H2O over them inward a large saucepan which I give-up the ghost along HOT on a burner.

Also, acre the savor is simmering, convey your canning H2O to a difficult boil, here is how:

 Place a rack on the bottom of a large stock pot (or something to give-up the ghost along the jars upward off of the bottom of the pan) together with create amount the pot alongside H2O (water should move deep plenty to comprehend the jars past times 2". Bring the H2O to a amount boil.

Now that your savor has boiled for twenty minutes, take it from the estrus together with house it inward the construct clean hot jars, leaving 1/4" infinite at the plough over off of the jars (make certain in that place are no air pockets inward the relish). Wipe the rims of the jars alongside a clean, hot, wet kitchen towel together with screw on the two-piece lids fairly tight. Lower the jars into the already boiling H2O together with give-up the ghost along them inward there  10 minutes for one-half pint jars together with xv minutes for pint jars.

Remove from boiling H2O together with allow cool to room temperature on your kitchen counter. As they cool on your counter, you lot volition involve heed the lids "pop" when they brand the right seal.  If they don't "pop", simply give-up the ghost along them inward the fridge.

NOTE: Do non purpose regular tabular array common salt for this recipe because the anti-caking agents inward tabular array common salt elbow grease the savor to discolor.  If you lot don't conduct pickling salt, the adjacent best affair to purpose is kosher common salt (but I highly recommend pickling salt).

NOTE: The recipe calls for 12 cups of chopped upward zucchini. I conduct flora that if I am a loving cup brusk of zucchini, I simply add together an extra loving cup of chopped carrots. Works well.

NOTE: This recipe makes vii pints of relish.

ENJOY !!!
