I found this idea (there is no recipe link) at the outstandinginthegarden.net web site. Good idea because zucchini can take over a garden in no time, and trying to find ways to use them, besides showering your neighbors doorsteps with free gifts, can be difficult.

Zucchini Pickles

When you have an over abundance of zucchini, make pickles. You will be amazed at how good they taste during the cold winter months or anytime! They are great for gifts too!

Cut zucchini into long spears, pack them into jars, add whole & chopped garlic cloves, dried hot red peppers or pepper flakes, fresh dill - and fill the jar with a basic pickle brine. Just like the real deal!

[MINE: *Finding fresh dill can be troublesome and if that's so for you, buy some dried dill weed and that will work, too.]
