Tea Talk and Zucchini Relish

Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.

I'm having...A new tea by Lipton.  It's called Island Mango and Peach White Tea.  It flavor filled and refreshing.  I sweetened it a bit with Splenda.

My teacup is...One of my favorite mugs. It says exactly who I am.

I'm feeling...satisfied.  I canned the Zucchini Relish yesterday and there is such a feeling of satisfaction.  I think they turned out well.  We will be taste testing it today at work.  There are some fine palates there.

On my mind...finishing the laundry...I want it done before the weekend in case we decide to do something special.

Zucchini Relish

Finally, for all who wish to have it, here is the recipe for Zucchini Relish.

Wash zucchini, DO NOT PEEL.  Cut out seeds.

Shred zucchini-10 cups

4 cups chopped onion

5 tablespoons canning salt

MIX-- Set out at room temperature overnight.

Next day--Drain, rinse, and drain again.

Put in bowl with:

5 cups sugar

2 1/2 cups vinegar (I used cider vinegar)

2 large green peppers, diced

1 large red pepper, diced

1 teaspoon celery seed

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/ teaspoon black pepper

Put in pan and cook until it boils.

Put into jars with lids (makes 6 pints)

Put into pressure cooker and pressure up to 5 pounds.  Or place in a pan and cover jars with water about 1 inch over the tops and boil for 10 minutes.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Thanks be to God!
