(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Snacks

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. baby zucchini
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 12 dill sprigs
  • 4 Fresno chiles, halved lengthwise
  • 2 garlic cloves, halved
  • 4 cups room-temp water
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt

Directions

  1. Divide zucchini, coriander, dill, chiles, and garlic between 2 (1-quart) jars.

  2. Combine 4 cups water and salt. Stir until salt dissolves fully.

  3. Divide liquid between jars to cover zucchini, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between liquid and top of jar. Cover jars loosely with lids. Let stand in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for 5-7 days. The liquid will turn cloudy, then bubble and fizz after several days as it develops lactic acid. Once fermented, refrigerate pickles. They will keep in sealed jars for up to 3 months.
