Do you have a good zucchini relish recipe?

Asked by incendiary_dan (13406points) August 6th, 2011

I’ve been wanting to learn to make a sweet zucchini relish for a while. My mom used to get some from a friend of hers, but they don’t talk so much anymore. Plus, I plan to grow zucchini next year, so I figured I should have inventive ways to process it for storage.

What’s your recipe?

Don’t have a sweet zucchini relish recipe, but I could get you a sweet green tomato relish, really good stuff I make it with my mother every year and we jar it so we have enough for the entire year. Its also a great way to get rid of all those fall green tomatoes that need to be picked and you know won’t ripen.

Just a note – my “farm gal” friend told me last year that you can pickle zucchini’s just like cucumbers, so I tried it. I used the same recipe for dill pickles and did them the same. They were great! Tasted just like regular dill pickles but not as acid.
