Yield

Makes about 3 pints

Ingredients

1 quart unpeeled, thinly sliced, small fresh zucchini
2 small to medium onions, thinly sliced

1-1/4 cups cider vinegar
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 teaspoons mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon tumeric

Instructions

Sprinkle the zucchini, onions, and garlic with salt, and cover with cold water. Let stand 2 hours. Drain, rinse in fresh cold water, and drain again. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large pot and boil 5 minutes. Add the vegetables, remove the pot from heat, and let stand 3 hours. Return the pot to a boil and simmer 5 minutes. Pack pickles into sterilized jars and process 10 minutes in boiling water.
