I would like to make zucchini pickles. I had some a long time ago and fell in love. They were slices not spears. I've never done any kind of pickle. I am hoping to start with refrigerator ones rather than canned. We have an abundance of green and yellow squash.
If anyone has made these I'd love to have the recipe. I have the Ball book and the small amount one Lisa recommended. I also wondered if the Ball pickle crisp would be something that would help here. TIA
Alina, FWIW, water bath canning pickles is super easy. Our garden has yielded a huge crop of pickling cucs this year and tonight I'll be doing my 4th batch of about a dozen pint jars of bread & butters. DD (who's the gardener) and I might try and sell some for fun at a farmer's market. Anyway, I'm glad you posted about zucchini pickles. She also grew squash so I think I'll try them too and I'll definitely use the Pickle Crisp. I don't know why it wouldn't work just as well -- the recipe I just found online for pickled zucchini uses the exact ingredients that I use for the bread and butters.
Thanks!
