How to Make Bread and Butter Zucchini Pickles

Do you have a garden this year? Do you end up with an abundance overload of zucchini? Why not try something new and use them to make Pickles? My favorite recipe is Bread and Butter Pickles. I bet if you try this you’ll never be able to tell this it’s zucchini and not the traditional cucumber.

There’s all kinds of recipes for these pickles all over the internet. Either use one of those or mine or a combination of several to find what you like.

Every year I find new ways to use all those zucchini. Did you know you can dehydrate it, run it through a blender to make a powder and use it as flour in baking recipes? Yep, you sure can and you’ll never detect it. Replace 1/4 cup of any flour with zucchini flour in your recipes.
