Eating the Harvest: 3 Fast & Easy Zucchini Pickle Recipes
Got a metric ton of zucchini in your garden? Watch this video for 3 quick and easy zucchini pickle recipes + more tasty and unique ways to enjoy your zucchini and summer squash…
Early summer is the season for zucchini, zucchini, zucchini! If you grow zucchini, you’ve no doubt experienced the seemingly exponential growth of this amazing summer squash. Delicious as it is, sometimes it can be hard to come up with ways to use up all the bounty. While you can freeze shredded zucchini for later use, there aren’t a lot of other way to preserve it, which is why these zucchini pickle recipes are such a welcome addition to your recipe collection! I discovered zucchini pickles a few years ago, and now we make some every time we grow squash – they are great on burgers with big slices of fresh tomato – yum!
These delicious and easy “quick pickles” require no canning, and they’re super fresh and crunchy tasting – even the kids will love them! The suggestions provided in the video include flavorful and medicinal herbs to give your health a boost as well as giving your taste buds a treat. Feel free to tailor the suggestions below to your own palate and the herbs you have on hand. Making small batches like 1 pint of each variation with different herbs and spices will let you try a number of options without a lot of extra work, so you can experiment and find what you like best.
