Not a vegetable dish, I know, but I couldn't find anywhere more appropriate to post this.
I've always made sweet relish, but the problem is, although the kids muched it down, I don't even like the stuff! But, I do like relish with my franks and with hamburger. So, I modified a sweet relish to non-sweet and it turned out absolutely yum!
Besides, who isn't generally over-run with zucchini during the summer months? Even if they don't raise a garden, nearly everyone I know has more zucchini than they know what to do with, so without further adieu...
Zucchini Dill Relish
10 cups grated zucchini
4 medium to large green peppers, chopped
2 cups chopped onion
Mix in large bowl and add half a cup of canning salt (or any salt without iodine).
Refrigerate overnight.
Drain liquid, then put in a large kettle and add the following:
3 Cups cider vinegar (don't use the cider-flavored vinegar because this will just ruin the flavor)
1/4 cup dill seeds/weed
Bring it to a boil, and let boil for 25 minutes.
Put into sterilized jars, seal and waterbath for 10 minutes (more depending on your altitude).
One batch makes roughly 6 pints of relish.
