How to Make Refrigerator Pickled Zucchini Ribbons
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the vinegar mixture simmers, thinly slice 2 medium zucchini lengthwise into ribbons using a vegetable peeler or mandoline. Thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion.
- In a large, heat-safe bowl, combine the zucchini ribbons and red onion.
- Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Cover the bowl and let stand at room temperature for 3 hours.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
