Zubereitung von Zesty Zucchini Relish
- Prepare the brine: In a large glass or stainless steel bowl, combine 2 cups water, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon canning salt.
- Add zucchini: Add the zucchini (about 4 cups packed, after prepping) to the brine. Stir gently to ensure it’s fully submerged.
- Brine the zucchini: Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight. Rinse thoroughly and drain well.
- Squeeze out excess water: Gently squeeze the zucchini to remove as much excess water as possible. This is crucial for preserving the relish's texture.
- Prepare the relish: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Simmer the relish: Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil. Add the drained zucchini and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a few drops of red food coloring, if desired, for a brighter color.
- Fill the jars: Carefully ladle the hot relish into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Process the jars: Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints). Allow to cool completely before checking for seals.
