My whole family loves this recipe. I made a few changes, like adding some black mustard seeds and soaking the vegetables in the fridge overnight. I used a mandoline to finely shred the squash, which allowed me to use overripe squash, seeds and all. This is the best relish I've ever eaten. -
This recipe was great with one exception. a little too much salt. I ground up 10 cups of squash (about 10 med. size) and 4 cups onions (about 5 med.) but other than those changes, it was wonderful. My son very much loved this recipe. It was extremely easy to make and canned very well. I got 13 pints from the recipe. I will definitely use this one again, only reducing salt to 1/8 cup.

I live in South Carolina and I am sort of retired. I have recently moved to the country and have my first garden. It is small but I have really enjoyed eating & canning my "own" food. I have always put most of my vegetables in the freezer but have started using jars this summer and have a canning closet that is looking more beautiful everyday.
