I made this to serve on Beer Brat's and hotdogs and it was a huge hit! The recipe calls for 3/4 oz. of powdered fruit pectin, but the packets I found in the store were sold in 1 3/4 oz. packets. I'm not sure there was a typo in the recipe, but I used about a half of packet. Turned out fine. I will definatley make this again, but next time, I might double the recipe!

If you like extremely sweet relish, this will be for you. If, on the other hand, you like a zingy moderately-sweet relish, you might want to make some adjustments. I doubled the vinegar and yellow mustard and halved the sugar (and also added 1/4 t powdered yellow mustard) and still find this recipe to be far far too sweet for my tastes. Also, I think you might be able to skip the 1-hour in a colander step. after an hour, my veggies had hardly even broken a sweat. I just cooked some extra moisture out. And, the vegetable solids + a little juice made three 1/2 pint jars, with 1/2 pint of mostly liquid left over. ***** That said, it's a fine relish recipe and will most likely appeal to a great many palettes. I'm just adding my opinion for the few out there who might be looking for something a little zestier.
