Sweet and Spicy Zucchini Refrigerator Pickles

These Zucchini Refrigerator Pickles are surprisingly good! They give regular pickles a good run for their money! The pickling liquid for these pickles is delicious – sweet with a hint of spice and a yellow tinge thanks to turmeric.

 Start by marinating zucchini and onion in brine. Combine vinegar, sugar, mustard, turmeric, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves fully. Drain the zucchini and transfer to jars. Pour the pickling liquid over the top and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 24 hours. 

To make my version of Sweet and Spicy Zucchini Refrigerator Pickles, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Sweet and Spicy Zucchini Refrigerator Pickles

Dissolve salt in water

Dissolve 2 tablespoons + ½ teaspoon kosher salt in ½ a cup water at room temperature to make brine.

Place 1 medium sliced zucchini and sliced onion in a large zipper freezer bag. Add the salted water, 3 ice cubes and additional cold water to cover the zucchini and onions. Stir to combine and seal the bag. Leave to rest for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place a small saucepan over medium heat. Combine 2 cups of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1½ teaspoons each of ground mustard and mustard seeds, ¾ teaspoon of turmeric, and ½ a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes in the saucepan.
