Prepare the Vegetables: Start by grating the zucchinis and finely chopping the yellow onions. Place these in a non-aluminum bowl.
-
Add Some Salty Magic: Sprinkle the coarse salt over the grated vegetables. Give it a good mix, cover the bowl, and let it stand for a tantalizing 12 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Rinse and Drain: After the marination period, rinse the vegetable mixture thoroughly by running cold water over it in a colander. Ensure it’s drained thoroughly.
-
Spice Infusion: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine white vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, celery seeds, and fresh ground pepper. Bring this aromatic concoction to a gentle boil.
-
Thicken the Goodness: Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes or until it starts to thicken, creating a symphony of flavors.
-
Vegetable Symphony: Immediately add the marinated vegetable mixture to the simmering pot. Let them dance together on low heat for a delightful 30 minutes, allowing the relish to reach its full flavor potential.
-
Jar It Up: Remove the pot from heat. Now, pour this delectable relish into hot sterilized jars, ensuring each jar is filled with the savory goodness.
