Bread and Butter Zucchini

Zucchini is sneaky. You can go out one day and it’s 2 inches long. Two days later you can play baseball with it.

After picking 7-8 from the garden this morning I thought I would try my hand at making bread and butter zucchini.  I washed the zucchini and cut it up into small cubes. (Do not peel)

I had sampled some at the local farmer’s market, and surprisingly I liked it. I’m not a fan of bread and butter pickles, but these bread and butter zucchini were delicious.

Bread and butter zucchini are easy to make using a mix. Mrs. Wages is the most popular and all you need to add is distilled white vinegar and sugar.

I added the mix to the vinegar and sugar according to directions and placed them in a STAINLESS STEEL soup pot.  You can’t use aluminum because it is reactive.

I had already prepared the canning jars by washing them in the dishwasher, and made sure they were still hot when I was ready to add the zucchini and pour the hot mixture over them. This will prevent the jars from cracking or breaking.Canning lids prepared for canning jars

I placed the lids in hot water and waited for the mix, sugar and vinegar to come just to boil, stirring constantly.

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
