How to Make Hot And Spicy Zucchini Pickles

  1. Wash and slice zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a large bowl, combine zucchini slices with 1/4 cup pickling salt and 4 cups ice water. Let soak for 3 hours.
  3. Drain zucchini slices thoroughly and rinse under cold water.
  4. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons canning salt, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon turmeric.
  5. Bring mixture to a rolling boil, stirring until sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  6. Pack zucchini slices tightly into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
  7. Carefully ladle the hot pickling liquid over the zucchini slices, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
  8. Remove air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jars.
  9. Wipe jar rims clean and place lids and rings on jars. Tighten rings fingertip tight.
  10. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on altitude; refer to your altitude chart for correct processing time).
  11. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check seals by pressing the center of each lid; if it doesn't flex, it's sealed.
  12. Let pickles sit for at least 2 weeks before enjoying for best flavor. Store in a cool, dark place.
