Any ol' recipe for low acid pickles will do, just don't cook too long. Dare
I say that y'all are close to see level? The Ball Blue Book has a recipe for
bread & butter zucchini, also z~~ relish. And Small Batch Preserving has a
"winter pickle" one with cauliflower, carrots, bell pepper & z~ that can be
adapted for any combination of veggies. Let me know what you like & I'll
copy it out for you. The winter pickle I think I posted a couple years ago.
Today I'm doing a cauliflower only pickle with a lite curry flavor.
Edrena way up high.
