Courgette Relish
- 12 cups zucchini, about 10lbs.
- 4 onions, mix of sweet white & yellow
- 1 red bell pepper
- 5 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 2/3 cups sugar (I used coconut palm)
- 2 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons celery seed
- 1 teaspoon mustard seed
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 dried red chili, crushed (optional)
- Finely chop zucchini, onions, bell pepper. (I used a food processor for this time-intensive job, but feel free to do it by hand.) Combine & add salt; cover and let stand 2+ hours, or overnight.
- Drain zucchini mixture in sieve. Rinse, and allow to drain well. Squeeze out moisture (zucchini will sweat more in the pot). Transfer to large heavy saucepan/stockpot.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and allow mixture to thicken, about 5-8 minutes. Add vinegar solution to zucchini, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer 20 minutes.
- Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath according to USDA guidelines. Here's a link if you're new to canning: http://www.freshpreserving.com/guides/IntroToCanning.pdf Let jars sit 12 hours; label and store.
