PEPPERED SQUASH RELISH

Peppered Squash Relish image

I cook for a local middle school and have been making this relish more than 25 years. Whenever I take it to a dinner or picnic, it is sure to go fast, and I get lots of requests for the recipe. Sometimes I put it into gift baskets with other homemade goodies. -Rose Cole Salem, West Virginia
