Are these a sweet pickle?

I think it might be more to it than that. I think you also need a certain level of acidity, salt, or sugar to help prevent the growth of bacteria. Since the zucchini never get fully cooked like a tomato sauce, there could still be bacteria hiding in them.

Are these simply refrigerator pickles, or can I make some and store them in a root cellar? I am assuming the difference would just be pressurizing the jars, but wasn’t sure. Thanks!!!

Good question! It is a plastic container with a press to hold the vegetables in the pickling liquid. Do a quick search for Tsukemono and you should see some examples.

I made these yesterday and had my first taste today and they were just FABULOUS. Super addictive, as any good pickle should be…

Do you know how long these will keep in the fridge?

Hi Maggie – That would definitely work. As long as you keep the level of salt and vinegar about the same you can add any seasoning you want. Let us know how it works!

My zucchini is growing like crazy. I’m thinking of making these and adding fresh ginger as well.
