I would also use a combination of yellow squash and green zucchini; I just think it would look nicer. :-)
I don't eat a lot of jam in general, but really like the Carrot Cake Jam (post #951). I'm hopeful that the postal strike will end soon, as I have some packaged up and ready to ship to family in NS. Definitely would make it again.
The Confetti Relish (#949) turned out well - tasty, but lots of chopping by hand to get the confetti look in the jar. The Cucumber (or Zucchini!) Relish (post #845) is my favourite. I used a food processor to make it now instead of hand chopping. Forget hot sauce, I put THIS "stuff" on everything! :biggrin:
