Squash Relish

By pdotson August 5, 2012

This recipe is from one of my oldest friends, well actually it is from an great uncle of hers, I believe but I have known her to make it for years. I am not relish fan but everyone LOVES this stuff and asks for it at every cookout at her house.

So Here is the recipe she uses. I really LOVE having all my recipes on the computer but I love seeing handwritten recipes, it just does my heart good, and all good recipes are stained and wrinkled.

Prep Time : 15 minutes
Cook Time : 45 minutes

Shredded Yellow Squash - 8 cups
Green Peppers - 3 finely chopped
Hot Peppers - if desired
