    Pickled Courgettes

    Possibly my favourite courgette recipe!!

    Pickling mix:~500ml cider vinegar
    120g sugar
    1&1/2 tsp dry mustard
    1&1/2 tsp crushed yellow & brown mustard seed
    1 tsp ground turmeric

    500g courgettes
    2tbsp salt
    1 sm onion

    1.slice courgettes &onoin very thinly into discs(easier with a mandoline!)Place in bowl~add salt & mix well.cover with very cold water & stir to dissolve salt.
    2.after 1hr drain & dry thoroughly~either in salad spinner or between towels.
    3.Combine pickling mix in saucepan & simmer for 3 mins.set aside until just warm.
    4.Mix courgettes & onion with the cooled liquid.~transfer to sterilised jars.cover & refrigerate for at least a day before eating.
    Will keep indefinately in fridge.

    Absolutely yummy with cheese & crusty bread!
    can also add dried chilli flakes to the mix for an added kick! ENJOY!

      How thin do you slice them, does about 1/4" or so sound ok?

        As thin as you can,I use a mandolin....obviously not of the stringed variety!....the finer the better!...IMHO!
        You do need to try it though,I didn't like the sound of it,but is now my favourite pickle!

            Have made a note of this recipe, am growing courgettes but am not a massive fan (my mum sowed the courgette plant from seed and I didn't have the heart to turn it away). But this sounds like a fab way to use them!!
            Thanks

                  will this keep somewhere other than a fridge?
                  I have a cupboard in the shed I put stuff in, so the temp is usually cooler in there than it is outside in the summer, but warmer in winter, would that be ok?

                      Cor that sounds nice, I was just wondering yesterday about pickling courgettes when the glut starts! Perfect timing thank you!

                        TBH I don't know!
                        The top shelf in my fridge is always reserved for lots of jars of it!I guess as long as it doesn't get too hot & they're away from direct sunlight they should be OK?
                        I've still got 1/2 a jar in the fridge from last year,so I can at least vouch for the fact that they last well in the fridge.....as long as you make lots!

                          Is fresh chilli an acceptable addition? Just curious as I was reading about chilli oil and botulism and it worried me

                            I don't know...but from last weeks mistakes I learnt that forgetting the sugar is not a good thing!

                              Wow! What can I say, I have just tasted it - very, very nice indeed!

                              The only deviation from the recipe was that I only had yellow mustard seeds. I think I will be making another batch shortly! I left out the chilli.

                              Thank you very much for sharing the recipe!
