Aug. 9, 2007~ Show and Tell Friday~Zucchini Pickles ~
This last week my three youngest were at VBS. Soooo I got to get some things done like...putting food up for the winter. I made apple sause, I sliced apples and froze enough for 10 apple pies. Then....I made my Zucchini Pickles. A family fav..
I start off by slicing them and the onions and let it sit with salt for 3 hours then cook them with the spices and seal them.
Here is the recipe.
ZUCCHINI PICKLES (they are like a bread n butter pickle)
6 cups of thinly sliced zucchini with peel
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 Tablespoons of course pickling salt
Zucchini should no more than 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Combine zucchini, onion, and salt in a large pot. Stir. Cover and let sit for 3 hours. Drain.
Add remaining ingredients. Stir often bringing to boil over med-high heat. Boil, uncovered , 5 minutes.
2 cups of sugar
2 tsp. of mustard seed
2 tsp. of celery seed
1 tsp. of Tumeric
1 1/4 cup of white vinegar
Pour into hot sterilized jars to 1/4 inch of top. Seal. Makes 2 pints.
My batch you see was a double batch.

I remember my mom canning stuff from our garden when I was little. I have not had the gumption to do that yet. I am working on getting the sewing machine to work. Maybe next year I'll put up food for the winter. I have a nice freezer I could fill. Thanks for the ideas. Lovely show and tell as usual.

Happy Friday! I love all pickles! Yummy!!! I never knew you could do that with zucchini.
I have a Show and Tell post at: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/socalval/370793/ Thanks again for inviting me to participate. Have a wonderful day!!!
Valerie
Very neat Show & Tell...I'd love to make some of these.
I'm terribly sorry that I forgot to add a link to my post. It's on there now! My emotions were very raw yesterday and I wasn't functioning at my best :)
Have a wonderful week!

I've never had the pickle squash before. However, I am a Bread & Butter eating Mommy. Let's not forget the best part the juice too. I'll have to try it, DH loves his squash. He also like it fried with bacon grease & onions, then steam it.
How interesting! My mother and grandM canned pickles but I don't think I got that gene lol. My kids don't care for them and DH only likes sweet relish.. maybe that's why? lol
btw I could be 'a ruler of Saturn' on the quiz.
My S&T is here:

Hi Mary,
I wanted to ask you if you knew about Mr. Linky?? I was just thinking that you adding all the links by hand each week has got to be time consuming and wasn't sure if you were aware of it...you probably are, but if not or need any help, I'd be happy to help you.
Those look really great! I love bread and butter pickles. I posted and entry for show and tell at http://2stepsright.blogspot.com/2007/08/show-and-tell.html
I have been trying all day to get my S&T up. But the rest of my family is not co-operating. Just when I thought Mike would have a minute to down load the camera...he got a call to fix a comuter (hooray for the call, boo for the pictures) When he gets back we have to go to the grandkids after VBS program so my S&T Friday might wind up being a S&T midnite showing (reduced pricing of course) or a Saturday Matinee. I really did try sis. ):
What an interesting idea of cutting and freezing apples for apple pies later. Do you have to do anything special to them, or just cut them and flash freeze them? I might have to try that soon. Thanks for the idea. :)

Wow, I've never heard of zucchini pickles before, what a great idea to do with all that zucchini that everyone seems to have! I'm not a big pickle lover (especially since we toured the Gedney Pickle Processing Plant last year), but I do like bread & butter pickles & olives and the girls will eat any kind of pickles.
Hope you had a good day! We were visiting my mom in the Cities today - it was 99 degrees out! Hot, hot, hot - thankfully there is a nice breeze lest I become a mere puddle on the driveway. Have a good evening my friend - I have to go out to the barn now and the girls have to get their chores done and I have to rake hay - my FIL is coming early tomorrow morning with 200 bales of hay to fill us up for the winter - we are getting it early as we know where we can find it cheap and before the high fall demand that raises the prices on the already drought-stricken supply. If he brings both loads tomorrow, I guess that would make a good S&T - and oh yes, I still need to get my logo up - help Mary, I'm drowning in behind-ful-ness (I'm sure that is a word). ttfn
Wow, I love this post. I will have to print this out and give it to my mom - she's really good at trying stuff like pickling and she loves zucchini.
Like I said, I love stuff like this - the thought of making your own homemade pickles and I love pictures of it, too. But that's as far as it goes. Never did that, and I can't see it happening in the near future either. But I so enjoy it when I see pictures of it!! It makes me feel as if I'm in "yesteryear".
