How to Make Mrs Green's Squash Relish

  1. Wash and peel the squash. Dice it into ½-inch cubes.
  2. In a large pot, combine the diced squash, vinegar, sugar, salt, and onions. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the celery and bell pepper. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the relish has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to sterilized jars for storage. Enjoy!
  6. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes during simmering.
