Easy Bread & Butter Zucchini Pickles

I'm not a huge fan of pickles. At least not on regular basis, but on our last vacation I had a veggie burger that was topped with some that I absolutely fell in love with. They tasted somewhat like the sweet pickles I grew up with, but they weren't made out of cucumbers. So, once we got home, I quickly got to work trying to figure out how to make some easy Bread & Butter Zucchini pickles of my own.

No More Cucumbers.. Bring On The Zucchini

When I ordered my veggie burger on vacation, I didn't notice the description of the pickles. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste, but when I actually looked at what the pickles were, I couldn't believe it was zucchini's... and that I had never thought of pickling them before myself.

So Simple To Make

I grew up canning pickles with my grandmother. We would have baskets of cucumbers from my grandfathers garden, so pickles and relishes were always something we made.





I thought about this while putting together this recipe, but I knew I didn't want to spend all day in the kitchen. I wasn't sure if they were going to work in the first place, so a smaller, refrigerator batch was going to be the way to go.





To say these are easy to make is understatement.

I made this batch in one afternoon. Right after lunch I sliced the zucchini's and onions. I placed them in the refrigerator and by the time I was ready to start dinner, I was able to get the pickling juice made, cooled and poured over the zucchini mixture.

Voila. In just a little bit of time, I had the most delicious and easy bread & butter zucchini pickles I've ever had right in my fridge.
