A quick and easy homemade relish combining fresh zucchini, sweet onions, and turmeric for a bright, flavorful condiment perfect for sandwiches, grilled meats, and more.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups thinly sliced zucchini (about 3 medium zucchinis)
  • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced (Vidalia or Walla Walla recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 4 cups of zucchini and 1 large sweet onion to about 1/8 inch thickness. Toss together in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 2 teaspoons mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon celery seeds, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.
  3. Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the sliced zucchini and onions. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours to soften the vegetables and meld flavors.
  5. Use a slotted spoon to pack the relish into clean jars or containers, pouring any remaining liquid over the top.
  6. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. The relish keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Slice vegetables thinly and evenly for best texture. Let the relish soak for 1-2 hours at room temperature before refrigerating to allow flavors to meld. Use fresh mustard and celery seeds for best flavor. Avoid boiling the vinegar mixture too hard to prevent bitterness. Store refrigerated and use a clean spoon to serve. The relish improves in flavor after a day or two.
