Zucchini Relish

This is a favorite recipe I have made often since the 1980's.  It is a sweet relish, that reminds me of bread and butter pickles in relish form.  I love this relish on hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken or tuna sandwiches, and my own personal favorite: cheese sandwiches.

When I made Zucchini relish this year, I had everything I needed in the garden, with the exception of the sugar, salt and a couple of spices. That made it a nice way to use up those green peppers as well.
