Refrigerator Zucchini Pickles

An overstock of zucchinis from the garden this year? We had so many zucchinis that they were coming out of our ears. We made zucchini chips and I tried making these zucchini refrigerator pickles and they are so good! We made ours super thin so that they could be used on sandwiches, appetizer platers, cheese boards- you name it! The possibilities are endless.

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 medium zucchini
  • 3 cups white vinegar
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 TBSP red pepper flakes we like ours spicy- use less if you do not
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • Canning jars- I used medium size

Instructions

  • Slice zucchini super thin- I used my food processor attachment.
  • In a large pot, bring all ingredients except zucchini to a boil.
  • Stuff the zucchini into the jars.
  • Add the boiling liquid to each jar.
  • Top with the canned lids until you here the pop(suction) sound.
  • Refrigerate at least 24 hours before using.
  • Can last up to a month refrigerated.

This is a great way to use up the zucchini! I have also shredded mine in amounts for bread and frozen in bags for easy use. Have a try at these pickles!
