A recipe for Chard from Farmer Steve:

Zucchini Chutney

We all probably have many ways we love to make zucchini, which is great, as a hot summer often provides lots of zucchini.  I tried a new recipe for zucchini chutney this weekend, which I’m quite excited about.  This can be used as a dip, relish or side dish. And if you are a food preservationist, can it, and enjoy sometime this winter.

  • 2 lbs diced zucchini
    4 diced medium red onions
    2 cups apple cider vinegar
    1 cup raisins
    ~1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
    ~1/2 teaspoon coriander
    ~1 cup sugar
    ~1 teaspoon salt
    a few sprigs of minced dill

Bring zucchini, onions, apple cider vinegar, mustard seeds and coriander to a boil, then let simmer 15 minutes.

Add sugar and salt.  Taste check: evaluate if you want to add more of any of the seasonings.  Allow liquid to evaporate to desired consistency.

Add dill, let simmer 2 more minutes.  Enjoy!
