I just made zuc pickles for the first time... love them! They taste just like bread and butter pickles, you'd never even know they weren't cucumbers!
But I had a question... can you substitute zucs for any pickle recipe? Say, dill or sweet pickles? I got the recipe from a canning book that my MIL had and there weren't any mentions of other zuc pickle recipes or any info on just substituting them...

Just wanted to let you gals know... I wasn't so thrilled with the dill pickle version. Not horrible, just not as good as I'd hoped. Soon, I'll try the relish and let you know how that turns out!

Like Candy did, I usually substitute zucchini for cucumbers in my relish recipe. I actually used cucumbers today in 2 batches because I wanted to use up the end of my cucumber harvest. Really, I think I like it better with the zucchini :)
Relish and bread & butter pickles are the only 2 kinds of pickles that I have substituted zucchini for the cucumbers in.
Good luck! Please let us know if you have another recipe.
Hugz,
Cathy

I made some bread and butter pickles yesterday and the recipe said squash could be substituted. I got it from one of UW's extension bulletins. They have good ones for pickles an zucchini.

Elizabeth,
I have used zucchini to make relish before. I substituted the zucchini for the cucumbers in a spicy-hot relish recipe. Not sure about dill or sweet pickles though. I agree about the bread & butter zucchini pickle recipe being great!
