Uncle Ben's-Style Zucchini Relish for Winter

A savory canned salad that rounds out any side dish! This "Uncle Ben's"-style relish is rich and full-flavored, with a nice spiced kick from the seasonings. The vegetables stew for a good while, and the jars keep beautifully. If your zucchini are overgrown, be sure to scoop out the seeds, peel them, and stew them at least 5 minutes longer than usual.

    1. Make the sauce from tomato paste: pour the water into a pot, add the vegetable oil, salt, and sugar, stir in the tomato paste, and mix. Set the pot over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes.
    1. Wash the zucchini and cut into small cubes. Wash and seed the bell peppers and chop them into small pieces. Peel and wash the onion and carrots; slice the onion into half-moons and grate the carrots on the coarse side of a grater. Wash the tomatoes and cut into thin slices.
    1. Add the zucchini to the boiling sauce and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Then add the onion, carrots, and bell peppers and cook 15 minutes from the time it returns to a boil. After that, add the tomatoes and cook another 15 minutes.
    1. Season the vegetables with the curry powder and coriander, pour in the vinegar, and adjust to taste with sugar and salt if needed.
    1. Spoon the relish into pre-sterilized jars and seal with the lids. Wrap the jars in a blanket and leave until completely cool, about 20–24 hours.
  • This amount of ingredients gave me one 1-quart (1 L) jar and one 24-oz (700 ml) jar. The relish keeps best in a cellar or basement.
  • Happy canning!
