Cooking method
-
Step 1:
The ingredients you'll need.
-
Step 2:
Cut the zucchini in half, then into thin slices, and halve those again. I've seen recipes by this name with the zucchini diced, but this is how I'm used to doing it.
-
Step 3:
Cut the sweet bell peppers into strips.
-
Step 4:
Mince the garlic however you like — a blender is fastest.
-
Step 5:
Seed the hot chili pepper and slice it.
-
Step 6:
Put all the chopped vegetables in a large enameled pot and add the salt.
-
Step 7:
Add the sugar.
-
Step 8:
Pour in the vegetable oil.
-
Step 9:
Add spices to taste — I used a little cloves, allspice, and peppercorns.
-
Step 10:
Thin the tomato paste with a little water and add it in.
-
Step 11:
Pour in the rest of the water.
-
Step 12:
Mix well, set it over the heat, and bring to a boil.
-
Step 13:
Cook for 25 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, covered or uncovered (I left mine uncovered).
-
Step 14:
Now pour in a shot of vinegar, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes.
-
Step 15:
While the relish cooks, wash the jars and boil the lids for 2–3 minutes.
-
Step 16:
Seal the relish into the jars, turn them upside down, and wrap them in a blanket for a day.
