Uses for Yellow Squash Relish



I had a few pints of yellow (straight neck) squash relish to use up.  It appears to be an item we don't use as often as I though we would.  I read it's great on hotdogs.  We don't eat hotdogs.  I also canned it in pints vs. half-pints, like I should have. Of course it's good on burgers too, but then we have most of the jar to use up before it goes bad.
Here is what I tried with the yellow squash relish, and liked it.

First up, I soaked black beans, then cooked them in the crocky the next day (with chopped onion and minced garlic sauteed and added).
