I used the coarse grind of my stand mixer's grinder attachment to make this sweet relish. This is a great relish for hot dogs or burgers, and it's a good way to use extra green tomatoes and zucchini. Finely chop the vegetables if you don't have a grinder.
Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 cups ground zucchini, about 2 1/2 pounds
- 2 cups ground green tomatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 3 large red and/or yellow bell peppers, ground
- 1 large onion, peeled, ground
- 1/3 cup pickling salt or kosher salt
- 3 cups cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon mixed pickling spices
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Preparation:
Put ground vegetables in a large nonreactive container with salt; gently stir to combine. Top with abour 3 cups of ice cubes, cover, and let stand for 3 hours. Drain and lightly rinse.
In a large, nonreactive kettle combine the vinegar, sugar, spices, mustard seeds, turmeric, and garlic. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add drained vegetable mixture and bring slowly to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Pack into clean jars. Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth and seal with 2-part lids. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
Makes about 5 pints.
