Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Relish Recipes

Time 8h45m

Yield 100

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 cups shredded zucchini
4 cups chopped onion
5 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
5 cups white sugar
1 red bell pepper, chopped
14 half pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Toss zucchini and onion with salt in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight to drain. Rinse vegetables with cold water and drain well.
  • Mix dry mustard, celery seed, nutmeg, and black pepper in a bowl.
  • Heat vinegar, sugar, spice mix, zucchini mixture, and red bell pepper in a large pot over medium heat. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the vegetables into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

All-purpose relish is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes such as sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads, and even as a topping for grilled meats and poultry. This relish is typically made with a mix of vegetables and spices that are finely chopped and preserved with vinegar or lemon juice. While there are numerous recipes available online for making all-purpose relish, it is important to note that not all recipes are created equal. Some recipes may yield a bland or overly acidic relish, while others may have too many spices that overpower the natural flavors of the vegetables. In this article, we will provide some valuable tips for making a delicious all-purpose relish that can complement any dish.

Tip #1: Choose the right vegetables

The key to a delicious all-purpose relish is to use the right vegetables. Generally, the best vegetables to use are those that are slightly sweet, tart, and crunchy. Examples include onions, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage. When choosing your vegetables, make sure to pick ones that are fresh and firm. Avoid using vegetables that are mushy or wilted, as they will not add the desired texture or flavor to your relish. You can also experiment with different vegetable combinations, depending on your personal preference.

Tip #2: Chop the vegetables finely

To ensure that all the flavors of your all-purpose relish blend well together, it is important to chop your vegetables finely. This will ensure that every bite of your relish is packed with flavor and texture. When chopping your vegetables, try to make them as uniform as possible. You can use a food processor or hand chop them, but make sure not to over-chop them. Over-chopping vegetables can release too much moisture, which can make your relish watery and dilute the flavor.

Tip #3: Experiment with spices and seasonings

While the vegetables are the stars of your all-purpose relish, spices and seasonings can make all the difference in the flavor. Some classic spices and seasonings for all-purpose relish include mustard seeds, coriander, celery salt, and black pepper. You can also experiment with other spices and seasonings such as red pepper flakes, cumin, thyme, and garlic. The key is to find a balance between the vegetables and the spices. Too much seasoning can overpower the flavors of the vegetables and make the relish too spicy or salty.

Tip #4: Use the right vinegar

The vinegar is an essential ingredient in making all-purpose relish. It serves as a preservative and adds a tart flavor to the relish. The most commonly used vinegar for all-purpose relish is white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. When choosing your vinegar, make sure to always use a high-quality one. Cheap and low-quality vinegar can affect the flavor of your relish and can also make it too acidic or sour. Depending on your personal preference, you can also experiment with different types of vinegar such as rice vinegar or red wine vinegar.

Tip #5: Let the relish marinate

Once you have mixed all the vegetables and spices together in a bowl, it is important to let the relish marinate for a few hours or even overnight. This allows the flavors to blend together and develop into a delicious and cohesive relish. When marinating your relish, make sure to cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. You can keep the relish in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the recipe. Some recipes may require refrigeration, especially if they contain perishable ingredients.

Tip #6: Store the relish properly

All-purpose relish can be stored in airtight containers or jars for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. When storing the relish, make sure to label the container with the date you made it, so you remember when to use it by. If you have made a large batch of all-purpose relish, you can also preserve it using the canning method. To do this, you will need to fill a clean and sterilized jar with the relish and process it in a water bath or pressure canner. This method will allow your relish to last for up to a year.

Conclusion

Making all-purpose relish is a great way to add flavor and depth to your dishes. By following these valuable tips, you can create a delicious and versatile relish that can be used in a variety of ways. Remember to experiment with different vegetable combinations, spices, and seasonings until you find the perfect balance of flavors. With a little bit of practice and patience, you can master the art of making all-purpose relish and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills.
