How to Make Sweet And Hot Curried Zucchini Pickles

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, red onion, chilies, and kosher salt. Gently toss to ensure all the zucchini is coated with salt. Let stand for 1 hour.
  2. After 1 hour, drain the zucchini mixture thoroughly. Rinse twice with cold water to remove excess salt. Add the raisins and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, granulated sugar, curry powder, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld.
  5. Pour the hot spiced vinegar mixture over the zucchini and raisin mixture, ensuring all the zucchini is completely submerged in the liquid.
  6. Stir in the grated fresh ginger.
  7. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop fully.
  8. These pickles will continue to improve in flavor over time. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks. Enjoy!
