Time P1DT35m

Yield 96

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds zucchini, thinly sliced
½ pound onions, quartered and thinly sliced
¼ cup salt
2 cups white sugar
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
3 1-quart canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Place zucchini and onions into a large bowl, cover with water, and stir in salt until dissolved. Let the vegetables soak in the salted water for at least 2 hours; drain and transfer to a large heatproof bowl.
  • Bring sugar, vinegar, celery seed, turmeric, mustard, and mustard seeds to a boil in a saucepan; pour the mixture over the zucchini and onions. Let the mixture stand for at least 2 more hours. Return zucchini, onions, and pickling liquid with spices to a large pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes.
  • While vegetables are soaking in pickling liquid, sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the zucchini and onion into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top with pickling liquid. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, and wait at least 24 hours before opening.

SWEET ZUCCHINI PICKLES



Sweet Zucchini Pickles image

Too much summer squash!! I am sure you could can these in the traditional way, but I don't know how to do that and this is so easy. I've frozen the whole mix in plastic storage bags, too, with great results. I love these with almost anything...best of all in the middle of winter!!! Kids also eat this up--at one of my daughter's birthday parties, it was the first snack to go. My dad gave me the recipe, so I have no idea where it's from...

Zucchini Dill Pickles image

When the garden is overflowing with zucchini, pickle them and put them on burgers, sandwiches, or enjoy one by itself. Make sure to not skip the step of salting and then submerging them in ice water: It's the secret to long-lasting snap.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegan Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound baby zucchini, halved or quartered lengthwise
Kosher salt
1/2 cup lightly packed dill sprigs
1 cup distilled white vinegar, plus more if needed
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
3 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss zucchini with 2 tablespoons salt; let stand 20 minutes. Cover with ice and water, weighting down with a plate, if necessary, to keep zucchini fully submerged. Let stand 1 hour. Drain in a colander; rinse to remove excess salt. Pack zucchini and dill into a 4-cup-capacity or two 2-cup-capacity jars.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar; 2/3 cup water; mustard, cumin, and celery seeds; garlic; jalapeño; sugar; and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Carefully pour into jar with zucchini and dill. Top with more vinegar, if necessary.

Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 month or try canning with our helpful instructions.

ZUCCHINI DILL PICKLES

Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds small zucchini (preferably about 4" or 8" long), trimmed
4 tablespoons coarse sea salt or pickling salt, divided
12 fresh dill sprigs
2 teaspoons yellow or brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon dill seeds
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
4 garlic cloves, halved
4 red jalapeños or Fresno chiles, split lengthwise
2 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • If using 4" zucchini, halve lengthwise. If using 8" zucchini, halve crosswise, then quarter lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons salt and 4 cups ice. Add cold water to cover. Top with a plate to keep submerged. Let sit for 2 hours. Drain; rinse.
  • Divide dill sprigs and next 6 ingredients between 2 clean, hot 1-quart jars; set aside.
  • Bring vinegar, sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Working in batches, add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until khaki in color and slightly pliable, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer zucchini to jars.
  • Divide hot syrup between jars to cover zucchini, leaving 1/2" space on top. Wipe rims, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow at least a week to pickle before eating.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, young zucchini that are about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly: This will help the pickles to cook evenly and absorb the vinegar solution.
  • Use a variety of pickling spices: This will give your pickles a more complex flavor. Common pickling spices include mustard seeds, dill seeds, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Make sure the vinegar solution is boiling when you add the zucchini: This will help to kill any bacteria and prevent spoilage.
  • Let the pickles cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their crisp texture.

Conclusion:

Quick zucchini pickles are a delicious and easy way to enjoy this summer vegetable. They can be made with a variety of pickling spices and can be used as a condiment for sandwiches, salads, and burgers. They are also a great addition to a cheese or vegetable platter. So next time you have a surplus of zucchini, give this recipe a try!
