If you are growing zucchini then you have probably run the gamut in ways to use it all up. Everything from zoodles (spiralized zucchini), zucchini bread, zucchini cookies, and a ton of different side dishes. My mom introduced me to zucchini relish last year when she gave me a jar as a gift. There’s nothing better than relish on a hot dog, but I was a bit hesitant, until we opened it up and had a taste. It was delicious. Now, obviously the recipe plays a key factor in the taste, but what I really loved was just how well the zucchini worked. I honestly felt like it was better than cucumbers. Where has this been my whole life? The zucchini itself is mild, but it holds up to cooking and maintains a nice texture without getting mushy. It also really absorbs the flavors well.

So, now I’ve realized another great use for this garden workhorse and I couldn’t be happier! This recipe was too sweet for my liking at first, so I cut the sugar down. You can tweak it a bit as you go, but even if you like really sweet things like me, the original recipe was truly too in my opinion. I also prefer to dice everything up rather than shred. It takes a few extra minutes, but you get a product that you are used to eating rather than a pickled, sauerkraut type texture. The recipe can easily be doubled, but when I try a new recipe for canning, I like to go small first. Hope you enjoy! Let me know your favorite ways to use zucchini below!
