I made this last night . it's very tasty. I didn't have any capsicum so I left them out. It made 6 jam jars plus a bit left over. I also didn't process it at the end, just sterilised the jars, put the relish in hot, then sealed.

Sweet Zucchini Relish

Ingredients
• 12 cups unpeeled zucchini whizzed in food processor
• 4 cups chopped onion
• 5 tablespoons canning salt (I used normal salt, non iodised)
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped (didn't have so left out)
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped (didn't have so left out)
• 3 cups white sugar
• 2 1/2 cups white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1. Place the zucchini and onion in a large, non-metallic bowl, and sprinkle the salt overtop. Use your hands to evenly mix the salt throughout the zucchini. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
2. The following day, drain the zucchini in a colander, and rinse well with cool water. Squeeze out excess water and set aside. Place the red and green bell pepper, sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch into a large pot. Add the nutmeg, turmeric, celery seed and pepper. Stir to combine, then add the drained zucchini. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, sterilize 7 one-pint jars and lids to hold relish. Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids.
4. Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.
5. Remove jars from pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

courgette chutney
The latest NZ Gardener newsletter has a recipe for courgette chutney: 500g onions; 1.5 kgs courgettes; 500g ripe tomatoes; 100g pitted dates; 50g sultanas; 500ml malt vinegar; 2 tsp allspice; 2 tsp ground ginger; 2 tbsp salt; 2 tsp ground black pepper; 1.5kg soft brown sugar. Chop the onions, cut courgettes into small chunks, peel and slice the tomatoes and chop the dates. Put in a large pot with the sultanas and half the vinegar. Simmer until the ingredients soften, then add spices, salt and pepper and simmer for another 15 minutes. Stir in the sugar and remaining vinegar then simmer slowly until thick. Pour into hot, clean jars and seal with airtight, vinegar-proof covers.

I made this recipe several weeks ago, very easy and the chutney looks great in the jars. Have to wait a bit longer to see how it tastes. I made a double recipe and eliminated quite a few zucchini. There are heaps of reviews to read too that are helpful.

I added smoked paprika instead of mixed spice though. Didn't want hot cross bun tasting chutney.

HOMEMADE ZUCCHINI RELISH

15 cups grated zucchini, from about 4 + pounds of fresh zucchini
1 pound carrots, grated
6 cups chopped onion, from about 5 onions
8 sweet peppers, a mix of red and green, chopped
1/3 cup table salt

Mix these together in a very large bowl.
Let stand at least three hours. Can be overnight.
Drain in a colander or wrap in cheesecloth so the excess liquid can be squeezed out.

3 cups vinegar (cider is preferred because it's gentler and more fruity but can use plain white vinegar)
6 cups sugar
3 teaspoon celery seed
1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons turmeric
1-1/2 teaspoons nutmeg

3 tablespoons cornstarch stirred into a little cold water to make a paste

Mix ingredients in a very large kettle, stir until sugar is dissolved. Add drained vegetables and bring to a boil. Let cook just a few minutes, until liquid is mostly gone. Transfer relish into sterilized jars and seal.

Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
