Colorful and tasty relish combines zucchini, onion, and bell peppers. It is a beautiful condiment to serve with meats or poultry or as a sandwich relish.

"I had gone to a wine tasting, and they served a similar relish over cream cheese with crackers. They were also selling it for $7 for a small jar. I found this recipe online and it was so similar, almost identical, so I made and canned it for Christmas gifts. Love it. Thank you for the recipe."
