A sweet and tangy zucchini relish perfect for canning. Use your garden surplus to create a delicious condiment for hot dogs, burgers, and more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups chopped zucchini (about 2 lbs)
  • 2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large)
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine chopped zucchini and onion in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Let stand for 2 hours.
  2. Drain the zucchini and onion mixture. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and drain again very well.
  3. In a large pot, combine the drained zucchini and onion with sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, celery seed, turmeric, and black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the relish has thickened slightly.
  6. While the relish simmers, prepare your canning jars and lids according to manufacturer instructions.
  7. Ladle the hot relish into hot canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles.
  8. Wipe jar rims and screw on lids fingertip tight.
  9. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
  10. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely on a towel-lined counter. Check seals.

Notes

  • For a lower-sugar version, you can reduce the sugar to 2 cups, but this may affect the preservation quality.
  • This relish is excellent on hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, or served with grilled meats.
  • Ensure your canning equipment is clean and sterilized to prevent spoilage.
