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.
