In large non-reactive bowl, combine grated zucchini, onions, & chopped peppers. Sprinkle with salt, mix well, & leave in fridge covered for 6 hours or overnight.
In a large colander, drain vegetables thoroughly, squeezing out excess liquid. Rinse to remove saltiness, then drain and press again. Vegetables should be very dry.
In non-reactive pot, combine vegetables with remaining ingredients & bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium & simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 35 minutes.
While still hot, pour relish into sterilized jars. Wipe rims with wet cloth and seal the jars with lids. Let the relish cool completely. Store the relish in the refrigerator for about two months.food52.com/recipes/37877-shelburne-farms-maple-zucchini-relish
