Recipe Introduction


Horseradish and hot peppers give this relish its zest. While it isn't exactly like a traditional pickle relish, it still seems to beg to be served with hot dogs.


List of Ingredients




4 ¼ lb (2 kg) zucchini, quartered, about 14 medium
1 ½ lb (675 g) onions, quartered, 5 medium
1 large sweet green pepper
2 large sweet red peppers
1/3 cup (75 ml) pickling salt
2 ½ cups (675 ml) sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) ground nutmeg
1 tbsp (15 ml) ground turmeric
2 ½ cups (625 ml) white vinegar
4 tbsp (60 ml) prepared horseradish
1 large hot pepper including seeds, chopped

Recipe



Place metal blade in food processor. Chop zucchini; measure 12 cups (3000 ml). Chop onions; measure 4 cups (1000 ml). Place chopped vegetables in a large glass, stainless steel or enamel bowl. Remove seeds and membrane from sweet green and red peppers. Finely chop green pepper; cut red pepper into ¼ inch (0.5 cm) cubes; add both to zucchini. Stir in pickling salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preserving Day

Drain vegetables; rinse with cold running water. Drain in a cheesecloth-lined colander, twisting cheesecloth to remove excess moisture.

Place vegetables in a large stainless steel saucepan. Stir in sugar, nutmeg, turmeric, vinegar, horseradish and hot pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 45 minutes.

Place 6 clean 500 ml mason jars in a boiling water canner; fill with water, bring to a rolling boil. Boil SNAP Lids 5 minutes–not longer–to soften sealing compound.

Ladle relish into a hot jar to within ½ inch (1 cm) of top rim (headspace). Using nonmetallic utensil, remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Center SNAP Lid on jar; apply screw band securely until fingertip tight. Do not overtighten. Place jar in canner. Repeat for remaining relish.

Cover canner; return water to a boil. At altitudes up to 1,000 ft (305 m), process –boil filled jars – 15 minutes.* Remove jars. Cool undisturbed 24 hours. Check jar seals. Sealed lids curve downward. Remove screw bands; wipe and dry bands and jars. Store screw bands separately or replace loosely on jars, as desired. Label and store in a cool, dark place.

Makes about 6 – 500 ml jars.
