Hey. I have only 2 kids and NEITHER will eat squash or cabbage!! You're lucky. 😁

Have dehydrator full of zucs and just found an easy recipe for refrigerator zuc pickles! Gonna make some tonight. Few neighbors to share with. Did give some zuc and crooknecks to a DS friend. Haven't seen her since. but I did ask and she did want, so....think I'm ok. 😊. She was blessed with a doz eggs, also.

It was all too easy.

true. we buy them dried and i could have them several times a week in various ways. with the weather being hotter i'm not having oatmeal as often but tomorrow that might be how i enjoy them.

just found an easy recipe for refrigerator zuc pickles!

Have not tried!!! But small batch and refrigerator so, put together and enjoy? So I plan to do and taste test in a few days.

Approx 1.5# zucs.... Sliced.....

In 3 pint jars....each jar, put 1/2 tsp black peppercorn, 1/2 tsp mustard seed, 1/4 tsp dill seed. Add zucs, add fresh dill (or increase dill seed).
Brine....mix and bring to boil....2.5 cup water, 1 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 TBS coarse salt...non iodized.

Pour brine into jars, which have everything in there. Cap, cool, refrigerate. Need about 48 hrs to cure. ??? Good 2-3 weeks in frig. Personally, I'd set those jars in some warm water while boiling the brine...just to feel safer to dump that hot brine in them.


Leaves room for personal adjustments. Add?? Onions, etc. But I felt it was small enough to toss out if not liked. And no processing time. More heat would make zuc too soft. Easy to adjust spice to own tastes. Definately not a make and store product. Just a quickie make and use. 😁

@FarmerJamie that recipe looks good. My only issue is liking them after that size batch. I'm not a big pickle eater. Like them. Just eat few, maybe a once a month thing.

Pickled beets? Let me at them!! 😁😁. Yeah, they're a favorite. I can eat those as a side dish.

I wonder if cattle like squash? Probably have to cut it into strips. They sure like cabbage and beet greens. I go easy, I don't want them to bloat.
