This Zesty Zucchini Relish is a flavorful condiment perfect for enhancing your favorite dishes. It's easy to prepare and offers a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
Combine the zucchini, onions, and bell peppers with the canning salt in a large bowl.
Let the mixture sit for a few hours to draw out excess moisture from the vegetables.
Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight.
This step enhances the flavor by allowing the salt to penetrate the vegetables.
Rinse the vegetable mixture thoroughly under cold water and drain well using a colander.
Ensure all the salt is rinsed off to avoid an overly salty relish.
In a large pot, combine the sugar, vinegar, turmeric, celery seed, black pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil.
Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar and prevent it from burning.
Add the drained vegetable mixture to the boiling liquid. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
Ladle the hot relish into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Seal with lids.
Use a funnel for easier jar filling and to keep the jar rims clean.
Process the jars in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes.
Ensure the jars are fully submerged in water for proper sealing.
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing. Enjoy the relish as a condiment or mix-in.
Store the jars in a cool, dark place for optimal shelf life.
