You can make a great relish or what is called Chow Chow. Also, great in stew, even with out meat if you want to go vegetarian.
Brown some sausage or hamburger in a skillet and drain off all the grease. Then rinse in a colander to get more of the grease off. Put back into the skillet and top with sliced zucchini, sliced sweet onion, sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes then top with grated cheddar and simmer covered till the cheese starts to melt. It tastes like a pizza without the fatening crust.
