LYNDA'S FAVORITE ZUCCHINI HOT DOG RELISH



Lynda's Favorite Zucchini Hot Dog Relish image

We love to add relish to our hot dogs. But we've never had one with zucchini, so this recipe intrigued us. We loved it! The flavors are tasty and it really gives the hot dog an extra zing. Try it on beans and vegetables, too.

Provided by Lynda Kolbinskie

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 15h

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 c ground zucchini (skin on)
4 Tbsp salt (I use pickling)
dash(es) garlic salt (to your taste!)
4 c ground onion (I like Vidalia's!)
1 large chopped red pepper
5 c sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp nutmeg (ground)
1/2 tsp pepper (black or white)
1 large chopped green pepper
2 c white vinegar
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp corn starch
2 tsp celery seed

Steps:

  • 1. Grind 10 cups of zucchini and place in large pot (with a lid). Add the salt and garlic salt. Cover with cold water and soak overnight. (I add lots of ice cubes and place pot in a cool place. If not, put it in the fridge!)
  • 2. The following morning, drain and rinse well in a large colander. Return to pot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Seal in jars while the relish is very hot.
  • 3. Place jars in canning pot and cover with water. Boil the submerged jars for at least 15-20 minutes to make sure seals are airtight. Remove jars from canning pot with tongs and place on a towel in your sink until they cool (this prevents jars from cracking).
  • 4. After opening a jar of relish, store opened jars in the fridge!

Title says hot dog relish, but we use it on anything and in alot of recipes for added flavor...it's like my 'secret' weapon! Use in potato or macaroni salad dressing, ham bbqs, sloppy joes, baked beans...yummmmm, gives just that extra layer of flavor but nobody seems to be able to figure what makes it that good!

Time 14h

Number Of Ingredients 14

************RELISH************
4 large onions
4 c ground cabbage
10 large green tomatoes
12 green bell peppers
6 sweet red bell peppers
1/2 c table salt
************SYRUP************
6 c granulated sugar
1 Tbsp celery seed
2 Tbsp mustard seeds
1-1/2 tsp turmeric, ground
4 c white vinegar
2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and cut vegetables in large chunks. Old method uses a hand grinder, but I do it now in my KA food processor. Grind all ingredients and place in a large stainless steel kettle. Add 1/2 cup table salt; cover and let stand overnight. Then, rinse well in strainer/colander. Return to kettle.
  • 2. Combine all syrup ingredients in glass or stainless steel bowl, then add to rinsed vegetables in kettle. Heat to almost boiling, then let simmer 3 minutes.
  • 3. Wash pint jars in hot, soapy water to sterilize. Boil lids & rings in hot water. Put relish into hot sterile jars, leave about 1" headspace and wipe rims well. Place lids and rings on, making sure they are tightly sealed. Set on rack or towels, let cool. As they seal, you will hear lids popping. Store in cool place.
  • 4. We always at least double this recipe, sometimes triple it if all vegetables are available. Can also put in quart jars, if desired.
