Did it turn out a little spicy, even without the hot peppers? It doesn't look like a dill relish.<br /><br />If I had a garden and had leftover zucchini or beets (two of my faves), I'd shred them and freeze them for adding to cakes, breads, casseroles, etc.Ammielorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733229409882495397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200172.post-81408673226967380762010-10-09T09:05:29.353-04:002010-10-09T09:05:29.353-04:00Sounds delicious!

It looks like pesto, frozen basil in ice cubes and tomato salsa.

Hot or cold?<br /><br />I'd like to make some sun dried tomatoes, if time and the tomatoes cooperate. The cool down left us...82 degrees here in balmy Indiana.

Pickles and chutneys certainly help dull meals go down. <br /><br />In the 50's and 60's my family made dozens of jars of these. They were all eaten up.<br /><br />These chutneys and pickles were not canned, but covered with greaseproof paper. They always kept well.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404265296554666518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200172.post-26635885775922403602010-10-08T13:26:14.620-04:002010-10-08T13:26:14.620-04:00Looks great!

When I am winding down in the garden I often dry tomatoes so I can have some over dried tomatoes later in the winter.Maria Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582992268736301561noreply@blogger.com
