Best 5 Zucchini Bread And Butter Pickles Recipes

ZUCCHINI BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES

Steps:

• Slice zucchini diagonally into 5mm-thick slices (if you have a mandolin with a waffle-cutter attachment, you can use this to slice). Cut onions in half and, using a knife, thinly slice. Place vegetables in a bowl. Add salt and toss well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• Drain vegetables. Rinse very well under running water, then drain. Pat dry with paper towels then transfer to a clean stainless steel or heatproof glass bowl.
• Place remaining ingredients in a stainless steel saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Immediately pour mixture over vegetables.
• Divide among sterilised jars and seal while hot. Cool to room temperature then store in the fridge for 2 days before eating, or for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Place a large colander or sieve over a large bowl. Place the zucchini and onion slices in the colander, sprinkle with salt and toss with your hands. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow the salt to extract excess moisture. Rinse the zucchini and onion under cold running water. Spread out on a clean dishtowel and pat dry.
• Prepare your jars for canning: wash jars well in dish soap, rinse and place right side up in a large pot in water to completely cover by 1"-2". Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to a low and simmer, covered, at least 10 minutes. Leave the jars in simmering water until you are ready to fill them.
• Prepare lids: wash and rinse the flat lids and the round screw-on bands. Set bands aside; place the lids in a small pan and cover with boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes; let lids rest in the hot water until ready to use.
• Place a large, heavy pot on the stove top. Put in the vinegar, sugar, celery seed, mustard seed and turmeric. Turn heat to medium high and stir while bringing to a boil. The sugar will be completely dissolved.
• Add the zucchini and onions. Stir gently and cook for 10 minutes. The zucchini and onions will become limp.
• Remove the jars from the hot water using tongs. Do not pour out the hot water from the pot; this water will be used for the hot-water bath. Ladle the hot pickles into the hot jars, leaving 1/2" space at the top. Take the clean lids from their sterilizing water and place lids on the jars, rubber side down. Screw the bands on the lids until hand-tight. Using tongs, lower the filled, sealed jars into the hot water. Bring to a boil and process in the boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars and let them cool on the countertop. As they cool you will hear a pop from each jar. When cool the center of the lids will be rigid and not flex when you push down on them.

• Pack mixture into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2" headspace.
• Adjust caps.
• Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
• When cool, check jars for proper seal; refrigerate any that do not seal promptly.
• Store others in a cool, dry place; pickles taste best after aging several weeks.

ZUCCHINI PICKLES

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.
