This is an excellent relish for using up excess garden produce left at the

flavored cheese, such as a mature cheddar. Makes nine 1/2 pint jars.

salt in a large non-aluminum bowl. Let stand overnight to draw out the
moisture.

possible. rinse in the sieve under cold running water, drain again, and pat
dry on paper towels. Put the vegetables into a large, non-aluminum
saucepan. Add the sugar and vinegar; stir to mix. Simmer the mixture for 1
hour or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, wash 9 half pint jars. Keep hot until needed. Prepare lids as
manufacturer directs.
Spoon the relish into one hot jar at a time, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
Wipe jar rim and threads with a clean, damp cloth. Attach lid. fill and
close remaining jars.
