Zucchini for the winter - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, yellow squash can be substituted for zucchini as they have similar textures and flavors. Adjust the cooking time slightly if needed.
Properly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place like a cellar, the zucchini can last up to 12 months. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within a week.
Vinegar acts as a preservative, but you can substitute it with lemon juice for a different flavor. However, the shelf life may be slightly reduced.
Serve chilled as a side dish, on a charcuterie board, or as a topping for sandwiches and salads for a tangy crunch.
Yes, vegetables like carrots, onions, or bell peppers can be added for variety. Ensure they are thinly sliced and adjust brine quantities as needed.
You can omit the sugar or use a sugar substitute like stevia, though this may slightly alter the flavor profile of the brine.
Freezing is not recommended as it can make the zucchini mushy upon thawing. The jar preservation method maintains better texture.
Yes, but use 1/3 the amount of dried herbs since they are more concentrated. Add them directly to the brine for even flavor distribution.
