Apple-Zucchini Relish

7 cups (approx. 6 med. whole) chopped zucchini

4 cups (approx 5 med. whole) peeled, chopped apples

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup golden raisins

1 T. freshly grated ginger root

2 cups cider vinegar (5% acidity)

1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar

1 T. pickling salt

1 tsp. ground mace

1 tsp. ground cloves

1 (3') cinnamon stick

In a 6 - 8 quart saucepan, combine all ingedients.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Boil gently for 20 to 30 minutes, or until thickened, stirring often to prevent sticking.

Remove cinnamon.  Immediately fill hot pint jars with mixture, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.  Carefully run a non-metallic utensil down inside of jar to remove trapped air bubbles.  Wipe jar tops and threads clean.  Place hot lids on jars and screw bands on firmly.  Process in Boiling Water Canner for 15 minutes.

Yield: 4 pints
