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...
