relish recipe

[jayne]

12 c. diced yellow squash
6 tsp. canning salt

Mix and let stand overnight or at least 12 hours. After the soaking period, pour off water and rinse well. Mix:

2 c. bell peppers, chopped
2 c. onion, chopped
2 (4 oz.) jars pimentos
2 1/2 c. vinegar
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. turmeric
5 c. sugar

Mix and boil 1 minute. Add squash, bring to boil. Put in jars and seal. Yields: 8 pints.




putting the salt on takes all the bitterness out be sure and rinse well....I shred mine instead of dicing...I dont always use pimentos it is mainly for color I add a tbsp of tumeric instead of a tsp and 2 tablespoons of pickling spices.I also add a couple of slices of hot pepper that is to taste if you like it hot add if you dont .....well dont.
this stuff is great piled beside a plate of pinto beans and fried tators and cornbread
