What do folks eat at a ball game? Hot dogs, of course! For our baseball theme party, I jazzed them up with an easy homemade barbecue sauce and a tangy relish that's become a family tradition. I make up a supply when our garden's booming with zucchini.—Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

This relish is great. I always double the recipe. Great on hot dogs and hamburgers.

Years ago I had a Zucchini Relish recipe that I used for making relish from all those zucchini's from my garden. Well I quit canning and I have misplaced the recipe. Since the economy is requiring me to dust off my canning supplies I was hoping someone would have the recipe. All I can remember (other than it was delicious)was that it had ground pepper in it and it was sweet. The kids loved it on their hot dogs and hamburgers. However there was not any cornstarch in the recipe.
