ZUCCHINI PICKLES

Preserving and storing food takes up lots of room in my pantry and freezer but I can't stand having food go to waste especially after I've taken the time to grow it myself. Yesterday I picked yet another huge zucchini from our garden, funnily enough I barely had any to pick through summer but now the plants seem to have their second wind and are producing quite well. One of my favourite ways to preserve zucchini is to make pickles and my favourite recipe is from Sally Wise' A Year In A Bottle.

This double batch using 2kg of zucchini made up 12 x 300ml jars, enough to last us a couple of years.
