Question: what do you like to eat with it? How do yo use it? Thank you for the recipe

[@joanreid2804]

I was just Ives fresh, small zucchini and didn’t know what to do with it. Now I do! Thank you!

[@terrymedina7893]

Thank you I never knew there was such a thing as zucchini relish 😮looks so delicious 😋

[@keywest9379]

My recipe is a little different, but same basic ingredients. I learned to make this from my Granny. Put it in beans, on hotdogs, or in tuna salad. To quote my husband, "O baby, it's good!". Just finished a batch, too.

[@joyarnett6570]

That looks delicious and simple to make thanks for showing this...😊

Clear jel can be used in place of cornstarch in canning let's be safe while enjoying our garden's goodies.

[@suavethreads8904]

Why is cornstarch bad to use?

[@courtneyscupboard]

@@suavethreads8904 Because it affects the ability for the food to be heated thoroughly to kill any spores or bacteria.

Looks amazing and now I know what else I need to make with my Zucchini ♥

Small zucchini makes amazing bread and butter pickles.

I made 48 pints 4 years ago and we used them for gifts ❤

[@lynnclendenin2988]

I was planning to make this, and the South Carolina heat killed all of my zucchini and cucumbers - and it is just the beginning of July! I may try again since we have such a long growing season!

Love this stuff ❤

[@HeartwayFarms]

@@tammydillander8992 wonderful 👍

I make the same thing ! But I don’t shred the zucchini I finely chop it. I love to take a cracker and put some cream cheese on the cracker then some of the relish. A great little snack. I do have one question. I have been canning for year. And I don’t take the rings off while I store it. Why do you take them off ?

[@HeartwayFarms]

There are two main reasons to remove the rings from canning jars after they have cooled and been sealed: * Detect spoilage: Leaving the rings on can mask spoilage. Spoilage causes gas buildup, which will eventually break the seal and cause the lid to bulge. With the ring off, you can easily see if the lid is bulging or if there are any leaks. * Prevent rust: Rings can rust if left on the jars for long periods, especially if they get wet. Rusting rings can be difficult to remove and may even stain the jars.

I was wondering if I could use some yellow summer zucchini and green to get my 12 cups? Wasn’t sure if the texture would be the same.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Not sure about that... We have always used our green zucchini. But it may be worth a try.

[@jennpreston8614]

Yes you can I've done it many times. 😊

[@pamelab.4731]

Can you use homemade ACV? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@gailsanders7737]

I thought corn starch was not an approved product for canning. I do not add to regular pickle relish, can it be omitted without a problem?

[@carolehart2424]

The amount she added is not to male it to thick it is still watery..as long as it's still watery it is safe to can

[@jennpreston8614]

I never use cornstarch. I just boil it up good.

[@carolehart2424]

Is it safe to use just 4 cups of sugar ?

[@Niamh07421]

can you use pectin (pomona's ) instead of the cornstarch (corn allergies)

[@jennpreston8614]

Just omit the cornstarch. I never use it.
