Kirby and other pickling cukes are out of my price range this year.
How about zucchini pickles and relishes? How do they come out? I have
seen recipes for them, never had or made them. I can get zucchini
cheap cheap cheap the next few weeks.

Gosh I love pickles. I only put up a few quarts and a bunch of pints
last season, ran out in January or February. I was depressed. Nothing
like some snazzy pickles to cheer up a winter cheese sandwich.

Use zucchini (about 1" - 1-1/2" diameter) in a bread and butter pickle
recipe. I don't know how/if they'd work as spears.

Snow, there's also recipe for Barbecue Relish in the Complete Book of
Small-Batch Preserving that uses zucchini instead of cucumber.s

I really don't like spears unless they are half sours, I am crazy
about B+B and dill slices. Thanks to you and George for the tips on
how to pick them out. I'd just have got a couple of honkin' biggish
ones.

Yep that's one of the things on the Zucchini To Do list! I just love
that book.

Pick them when they're 1-1/2" diameter if you want to pickle them, and
stick them in the fridge until you have about 20 of them - probably not
more than a couple days if you have as many as you say. :-) If you
let them get past that size, the next day they'll be bigger than you
want them for pickling.
