Quick Pickled Zucchini or Yellow Squash or Onion or Bell Pepper image

The other day I made a recipe I have done with cucumbers forever with a zucchini that was sitting on the counter. It was great! Then I tried onion and bell pepper, also great. After a little research I found that this can also be frozen well. I have written it with numerous spice variations so it can be a go to recipe. Choose what you like or make up your own.

Time 10m

Yield 1 Batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 zucchini, sliced very thin (or other abundant veggie)
1 cup sugar (can reduce to as little as 1/4 cup)
salt
1/2 cup white vinegar (more or less, cover the cucumbers)
1/4 cup dill weed, chopped, fresh (or 1 tbs dry)
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 -2 teaspoon serrano chili, chopped (jalapeno or other ok)
1 teaspoon ginger (triple if fresh chopped)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, salt, vinegar and chosen spice.
  • Add zucchini (or other veggies). Be sure veggies are covered, if not adjust.
  • Let the flavors develop for at least 3 hours in the fridge.
  • This keeps very well in the fridge.
  • If you are doing a big batch, consider freezing after the 3 hours.
  • If you do a bunch of small zip locks or container you will be able to take just enough out at one time.
  • If in zip locks, you can lay them out to freeze and then put a bunch in a larger zip lock for easy handling in the freezer.
  • Remember to mark them, especially if you do a bunch of different spice mixes.
  • If you make cucumbers, test freeze them. I am not sure they would freeze well.
