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

Yes, you can use apple cider vinegar as a 1:1 substitute. It will add a slightly fruitier note but will work just as well for preservation.
Properly sealed jars will last for up to a year in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, transfer the contents to the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks.
Yes! Zucchini and eggplant are both low-carb vegetables, making this an excellent keto-friendly preserve. Just be mindful of the small amount of sugar if you choose to add it, or use a sugar substitute like erythritol.
This recipe uses the 'hot pack' method where the vinegar acts as a preservative. For this specific preparation, a water bath is not strictly necessary if you use clean, sterilized jars and seal them while the contents are piping hot. However, for absolute safety and longer shelf life, processing in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes is recommended.
It's incredibly versatile! Serve it chilled as a side salad or antipasto, use it as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, mix it into pasta, or even as a flavorful bruschetta topping.
Absolutely! Diced bell peppers or finely chopped celery would be excellent additions. Add them in Step 3 when you are frying the onions and carrots to ensure they cook through.
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe. The high water content of zucchini and eggplant will cause them to become very mushy and release a lot of liquid when thawed, compromising the texture.
