Pickled Courgettes

[SarzWix]

Munch, ordinary vinegar, brown or white will do the job just taste slightly different.

Baz, welcome to the Vine We use a proportion of balsamic for pickling beetroot, it adds a lovely extra depth. A trip to Lidl might be on the cards

Sterilising in this house just involves a run through the dishwasher. If anything is particularly icky, we chuck a spoonful of VWP (hombrewing steriliser) in the dispenser. But ordinary dishwashing detergant contains bleaching agents which are good enough as a sterilizer

Thanks for the tips, I have just discovered that Sainsbury sell Cider Vinegar for just 97p for 500ml so that not to bad after all!
I like to sound of Balsamic too
Thanks again

Just an update.

I was making flatbreads and felafels for lunch today and was going to make a tomato salsa for the side; so I chopped some toms, and added some of these picked courgettes chopped finely, some pepper and a squish of mayo to bind it and Mr Z was in raptures.

The courgettes were still lovely and crisp as well - cushtie!

Just bumping again. I mentioned this to a contact yesterday and have emailed him the link - so I am guessing it's time soon for us to start thinking about make more. Be prepared as they say - get the ingredients in, save some [more] jars and get pickling.

I still use this every week [I pickled lots and lots of this], and this year will make smaller jars and give them away. I did keep this to myself last year but now I know how much we need I can give away a fair amount.

I've got a batch of this on the go as we speak, it's quite similar to my Cucumber pickle recipe which goes down a treat in our house so i have high hopes!

It is totally gorgeous. Another batch in the fridge as we speak - I even bought the courgettes as I couldn't wait for mine!

Very timely, was just wondering what to do with the salad drawer full of courgettes. There's probably another 3 or 4 when I go up the lottie later too Now just need some more jars!
