Last week I canned some beans, made zucchini pickles, summer squash pickles, zucchini relish, and also froze some zucchini pancakes. Can you guess what I have had a lot of lately?

Today was more zucchini pickles, froze 7 bags of shredded zucchini for zucchini bread, made two pear pies, made zucchini fries, and prepped some zucchini for bread and butter pickles which will be canned tomorrow (they have to soak overnight in salt).

Tomorrow I will be canning the zucchini bread and butter pickles, freezing beans, freezing peppers, and can some pears. I am so tired of dealing with zucchini, but my plants are slowing down so I should not have much more zucchini to deal with, it should be time to move on to tomatoes.
This was the first year that I have tried canning zucchini, and I am very happy with how everything has turned out. The zucchini pickles look just like cucumber pickles, and actually taste very similar to cucumbers too. I ate my first jar of zucchini pickles in just a couple days, when it does not last long then it has to be good.
