Kristina,
I use this one with either cucumbers or zucchini. It is spicy and I just LOVE it! I use it in potato salad, chicken salad, egg salad, on hot dogs, just everything! :)
Zucchini Garden Pepper Relish 4 medium zucchini (about 1 1/4 pounds), finely chopped. (Or cucumbers to weigh the same.) 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1/2 sweet red pepper, finely chopped 1/2 sweet green pepper, finely chopped 2 tablespoons pickling salt 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cup cider vinegar 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon celery seeds 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1 tablespoon water 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Toss together zucchini, onions and red and green peppers in a large non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle with salt and stir well. Let stand for one hour, stirring occasionally. (If using cucumbers, let stand for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.) Drain vegetables and rinse; drain again, pressing out excess moisture. Combine drained vegetables, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery seeds, hot pepper flakes and turmeric in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender; add water if necessary to prevent sticking. Blend water and cornstarch; stir into vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes or until liquid clears and thickens, stirring often. Remove hot jars from canner and ladle relish into jars to within 1/2-inch of rim. Process 10 minutes for half-pint jars and 15 minutes for pint jars. (Adjust processing time for your altitude.) Makes 4 cups.

I was going to post my Zucchini Relish recipe but Candy's looks better I bet it is so tasty with the crushed red pepper flakes :)
Candy, have you ever tried adding minced garlic?

I was looking for this yesterday. I have a bumper crop of cucumbers and need to make some relish. Thanks Kristina and Candy :)
Candy,
If we lived closer I would pass some on to you!

Candy, Candy, Candy!!!!
I made two batches of this today and we LOVE it! Hot dogs anyone? Thanks so much for sharing, I love the crushed red pepper it really added to the relish :)
Oh and just wanted to add a note: Spell check isn't always beneficial. I got a chuckle when I read the second paragraph :)

Candy, my hubby had the produce stand guy here a few days ago. He gave the guy a hormel hotdog with the relish and the guy wanted to sell the relish at his stand. Dh told him it wasn't for sale - ha ha ha ha! I told dh I was not selling anything this year (maybe barter, but no sales). I would have shared the recipe with your permission, but he never asked for it. He just wanted to sell it.

I did a few different types of relish using my zucchini because we have more than I can freeze. The first was a dill relish, the second a zesty relish that had a touch of horseradish. Both came out great. Both recipes came out of the Ball complete book of home preserving. I have found most of my recipes in this book of late and loved them all. The dill recipe was originally for cukes, but Zucchini works well.
