This squash relish recipe was shared by a dear friend of mine and I have been making it every summer for the past 5+ years. Great way to use up an abundance of yellow squash from your garden!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

You'll be surprised at how good this yellow squash relish is. It's an unusual and delicious way to use summer squash. Sweet and tangy, there are endless possibilities for how you can serve it. Use it on hamburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, or even a big dollop on baked beans for extra flavor. Basically, anywhere you use a sweet pickle relish, you can substitute this yellow quash relish.

How To Make yellow squash relish

Test Kitchen Tips
We canned this by placing the relish in sterilized jars and placing the jars in a hot water bath for 15 minutes. This made 7 pints of squash relish. Shredding does take time. If you have a food processor, it will make shredding slightly easier.
  • Shred squash, onions, and both peppers into a large mixing bowl. Add all salt and enough water to cover.
