Sweet Chunk Zucchini Pickles Recipe

Ingredients

1 gallon water

16 cups peeled and cubed zucchini

1 cup pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)

1 gallon water

2 cups apple cider vinegar

8 cups white sugar

3 teaspoons pickling spice

2 teaspoons salt

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place the zucchini into one gallon water in a large bowl. Stir in the pickling lime and let stand for 24 hours. Drain and rinse the zucchini a few times then cover with a fresh gallon water. Let stand for 3 hours then drain.

Step 2

Heat the vinegar sugar pickling spice and salt in a large pot over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the drained zucchini. Cover and rest the zucchini for 24 hours. Bring the zucchini mixture to a simmer over medium heat for 35 minutes. Allow to cool.

Step 3

Sterilize about 10 pint-sized jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Divide and pack the zucchini mixture evenly into the hot sterilized jars filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. 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. Store in the refrigerator.
