Here's one that I have used. Courgettes (aka zucchini) are great for pickles & relish.

Spiced Courgette Chutney

Ingredients

• 2 onions chopped
• 500g tomatoes chopped
• 500g courgettes, diced
• 300ml white wine vinegar
• 2 crisp sharp apples peeled and diced
• 250g brown sugar
• 2 tsp mixed spice
• 1 tbsp mustard seeds
• thumb-sized piece root ginger, grated
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed

Method:

1. Put all the ingredients in a large pan. Bring slowly to a simmer, stirring to stop the mixture sticking.
2. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours until dark, thick and chutney-like. Pour into sterilised jars and leave for 2-3 weeks before eating.

Doesn't get much easier than that! If you like things a bit more spicy, add some fresh chillies

Grate it. Put in freezer bags. Use in vegetable soup all winter. The grated zucchini gives nice body to a pot of soup.
