Vintage Recipes for Canning Garden Vegetables to Enjoy Relishes all Winter!

What could be better than enjoying the bounty of your garden all winter long?  Or having your own prepared relishes to share with family and friends.  Virginia's Holiday Relish is a recipe from a lady of my Indiana childhood many, many years ago.  This recipe uses both red and green bell peppers thus the "Holiday" in its name.  It makes a great holiday gift when you tie a red or green ribbon around the neck of the jar and slip it into a pretty gift bag or basket.  The Zucchini Relish is a great way to preserve those extra zucchini from your garden.  As you have no doubt guessed, it is another old Indiana recipe.  The saying of my childhood was waste not, want not.  We managed to use all our gardens bounty in ways to enjoy them all year.

VIRGINIA'S HOLIDAY RELISH
This recipe is from Southern Indiana.

12 red bell peppers
12 green bell peppers
12 large white onions
1 qt vinegar
3 cups sugar
1 oz mustard seed

Grind red and green peppers and onions together. Cover with boiling water and let stand 15 minutes; drain. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, mix the vinegar, sugar, and mustard seed together. Add the drained vegetables to the sugar mixture; bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes. Put relish into hot pint jars and seal with rings and inserts that have been boiled in hot water. Make sure jars seal. If a jar doesn't seal, refrigerate it.

THEO'S ZUCCHINI RELISH

10 cups ground zucchini*
4 cups ground onions
2 cups ground bell peppers
5 tbsp salt
5 cups sugar
2 cups vinegar
1 tsp celery seed
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp powdered mustard
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup vinegar

*Grind zucchini, onions, and bell peppers using a food grinder. (Modern cooks can use a food processor.) Put the ground vegetables into a crock or large bowl, add the salt and let stand overnight. The next morning, wash off the salt and drain well.

In a large pot bring to a boil the sugar, 2 cups vinegar, celery seed, turmeric, nutmeg, and powdered mustard; add the drained vegetables. Cook the mixture for 3 minutes then add the cornstarch and 1/4 cup vinegar that have been mixed together until smooth. Cook the mixture until thick. Fill hot jars and seal with hot lids. Be sure all the jars seal. Refrigerate any jar that doesn't seal.

Enjoy!
