RECIPES FROM THE RETRO HOUSEWIFE

PRESERVES

ZUCCHINI PICKLES, American

Ingredients
  • 1 quart vinegar
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup salt
  • 2 teaspoons celery seed
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 4 quarts zucchini squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 quart onions, thinly sliced
Preparation Instructions

Combine vinegar, sugar, salt and spices and boil for about 2 minutes. Pour over freshly sliced zucchini and onion, cover and let stand 1 hour. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes exactly. Be careful in timing, as longer cooking will make zucchini mushy. Pour pickles into sterilized jars and seal while hot.
