A while ago, we visited Shelburne Farms in Shelburne, Vermont. (If you are in the neighborhood, please stop by! It is a 1,400-acre wonderland of woodlands, pastures, and gardens, together with a dairy, garden, inn, restaurant, sustainability educational center, and a plethora of activities for kids.) At the farm store, we bought a jar of their maple zucchini relish, and what a treat it was! And what a blast of flavors!!! The jar disappeared quickly, and since Vermont is far away, I had no other option but to embark on the adventure of recreating it at home. Make sure you try the relish with a slice of aged cheddar, just as they sell it at the farm or, needless to say, with a hot dog. But beware: After this relish, the plain old pickle one might not taste the same anymore.
