             It's delicious too!

 

In a  large bowl, combine the chopped zucchini, chopped onion, and both chopped sweet peppers, sprinkle with the salt and cover with cold water. Let stand for about 2 hours.

After the waiting time, drain the vegetables and press out any liquid. Do not rinse.

In a stockpot, combine the sugar, vinegar, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring to a boil.   Add in the vegetable mixture and simmer for 10 minutes.

Ladle into hot jars, leaving 1/4" head space.  Put on seals and rings and process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath canner.

This makes 2 pints. 

NOTE:  You can increase the amounts of the ingredients to make a bigger canning yield and it will not effect the taste of the relish.

Delicious when a spoonful or two (or three) is put into a bowl of hot soup beans (aka cooked pinto beans) with a side of homemade cornbread.  YUMMM--EEE!
