My friends can barely wait for the growing season to arrive so I can make this incredible relish. The color really dresses up a hot dog. —Ruth Hawkins, Jackson, Mississippi
Yellow Summer Squash Relish Recipe photo by Taste of Home
1 tablespoon each celery seed, ground mustard and ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In a large container, combine squash, onions, green pepper and salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Drain; rinse and drain again.
In a Dutch oven, combine sugar, vinegar and seasonings; bring to a boil. Add squash mixture; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
Carefully ladle hot mixture into six hot 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.

Our summer garden produced a huge amount of yellow squash this year, so I took to the internet for a new recipe. This one was awesome. I was skeptical but fully enjoyed the result. We had hot links and this relish was perfect.

I've been making and sharing this recipe for about 3 years now and I have to say it is the bomb! My husband puts it on everything from Pork loin to Meatloaf, sandwiches as aside, it is versatile and easy to make, if you like pickle relishes you will probably love this.

Really good! I like spicy so I added 3 serrano peppers and 2 habanero peppers. Just the right amount of heat. I will be making more of this!

I used to have this recipe but it was lost. Thank you for posting it. This stuff is so delicious! I really don't like beans but with this along side I really like them. It's good with most anything even mix with tuna salad or atop hot dogs in place of pickle relish. A real keeper!

Used some of my big squash to make this yummy relish today. I ground my vegetables attachment. Can't wait to have it on dried beans.
