| Are there any delicious approved recipes making relish using summer squash? I looked on the NCHFP website but didn't see anything.
TIA |

| Look here for Linda Lou's Zucchini relish recipe. It can be made from zukes or yellow squash. Also you can just use the cucumber relish recipes at NCHFP and sub zukes or yellows for the cukes. All else remians the same. Dave |

| OMG that's wonderful!!!! THanks so much : ) |
|
| okay so I started this recipe and now realize I will have to process tonight because I have to leave the house for the day by 7:00 AM tomorrow. Is it okay to put the summer squash/onion/salt in the refrigerator for only a few hours versus overnight? |

| 12 hours is recommended minimum required to draw the water out of the squash/cukes. Many recipes call for 24 hours. You can do less if you wish but you will end up with a much soupier mushier relish. You are better off both quality and safety wise if you just let it sit 24 hours in the fridge with the salt than try to rush it. Canning means you need to plan ahead whenever possible. :) And be sure to rinse it well or it will be too salty. Dave |

| "Canning means you need to plan ahead whenever possible. :)" My plans for tomorrow were change for me unexpectedly : ( I thought it would be okay because the cucumber relish recipe from NCHFP only has you draw the water out for 3-4 hours.
