How to cook deliciously - Easy Zucchini Relish
1. Stage
Toss zucchini and onion with salt in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
2. Stage
Rinse vegetables with cold water and drain well.
3. Stage
Mix dry mustard, celery seed, nutmeg, and pepper together in a bowl.
4. Stage
Combine sugar, vinegar, and bell pepper in a large pot with drained vegetables and spice mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
5. Stage
Meanwhile, inspect fourteen 1/2-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until relish is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
6. Stage
Pack vegetables into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
7. Stage
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower the jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 25 minutes.
8. Stage
Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
