Cucumber relish is great for hot dogs, hamburgers, tuna and chicken salad and pasta salads! I use the cucumbers that I inadvertently grow too long and are too big for pickles. I am not sure how they hide so well, but they always do!

Ingredients

- 10 cups shredded cucumber - 4 to 6 bell peppers (orange, red and/or yellow make great color -2 large onions -5 Tbsp canning salt -3 cups apple cider vinegar -3 cups sugar -1 tsp black pepper -1 tsp turmeric -1 tsp celery seed -1 tsp ground mustard

Shred the Cucumber, Peppers and Onions with a Food Processor

Add 5 Tbsp of Salt and Mix thoroughly

02 Cover the bowl and let sit for 8 to 10 hours

Rinse with cold water, then drain very well, pushing with a large spoon or squeeze with hands to get moisture out

Place in large pot and add sugar, vinegar and remaining ingredients

Stir thoroughly, Bring to a Boil and Simmer for 30 Minutes

Spoon the mixture into canning jars, leave 1/2 inch headspace. This recipe made 5 pint jars

Remove air bubbles, wipe rims and add lids

Hot water bath at a rolling boil for 15 minutes

Remove the jars using a jar lifter and do not disturb for 24 hours

Enjoy this delicious zucchini relish on hot dogs, hamburgers and in chicken, tuna, or pasta salad!
