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.
