鈥淭his relish is a good way to use up some of that over-abundant zucchini you have in your garden. It can be used with meat loaf, stew, sliced meats, and even hot dogs. We serve it at dinner and cookouts. It is a favorite with our guests.鈥 鈥Knoll Farm Country Inn, Waitsfield, Vermont

Your instructions are not step by step. We are rookies trying to learn pickling and canning.
At what point do you grate, before or after the salt water bath.

Hi, Richard. You will see that the ingredient list asks you to have 12 cups coarsely grated zucchini. The same goes for all of the other vegetables in the list. You take the vegetables from the ingredients list and add the salt.

The recipe says to pour into sterilized jars and seal
Does this recipe not have to be processed in a hot water bath? Not sure if I am missing something.

Hi, Melodie. The processing information has been added to the recipe. Thanks!

you can use a big plastic bowl to mix salt and vegs. together.....I have a cake taker with a big lid that is plastic that I use every year when I make zucchini pickles......

Can I use a stainless steel pan instead of enamel? I don't have an enamel pan and cannot find one where I live.

You need to use a non-reactive pan. Non-reactive pans are made of either stainless steel or enamel-lined cast iron.

Haven't been able to find pickling salt anywhere. Can another type of salt be substituted for it ?
