1 and 1/2 cups each green and red bell peppers
Chop or grind the above vegetables. Add 3 tbsps pickling
salt. Let stand covered for 24 hours in fridge. Combine 1 and 1/2
cups white vinegar, 1/2 tsp pepper, 2 cups sugar, 1 and 1/2 tsp
dry mustard, 1 tsp. celery seed. 1 tsp. mustard seed. 1/2 tsp.
tumeric. Add vegetables and bring just to a boil. (Adding a
jar of French's Mustard makes it more like a hotdog relish) I
like it better with the mustard. Put in jars and seal. I don't
peel the zucchini but I take the seeds out. I double this recipe
when I make it.

Add the egg soaked zuchini and shake up. Deep fry and serve with a ranch dressing for a dip
