WOW Again....When We First Got This Recipe We Thought It Is a Non-Tasty Mix Of Everything We Have In Our Kitchen. Of Course We Now Think The Opposite Of It.
Ingredients
3 lbs zucchini, ends trimmed, cut into very thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick
2 red onions, about the size of baseballs peeled and cut into thin slices
3 -4 colorful chilies, of your choice, cut into thin rounds
1/4 cup kosher salt or 1/4 cup other coarse salt
1 cup red seedless grapes (or substitute golden raisins) or 1 cup green grape, halved (or substitute golden raisins)
2 3/4 cups distilled white vinegar
3/4 cup sherry wine
1 1/2 cups orange juice
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons prepared curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon allspice berry
1 teaspoon whole cloves
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 piece fresh ginger, the size of your thumb, peeled and cut into thin disks
Directions
In a large nonreactive bowl, combine the zucchini, onions, chilies, and salt and let stand for 1 hour.
Drain and rinse twice to remove the salt, then add the grapes and set aside.
In a medium nonreactive saucepan, bring all the remaining ingredients except the ginger to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring once or twice to dissolve the sugar.
Pour the hot liquid over the zucchini mixture; the zucchini should be amply covered or slightly afloat.
Place the ginger slices inside a fold of plastic wrap and crush with a mallet or other blunt instrument.
Add to the zucchini mixture, cooling to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
These pickles develop great flavor after a couple of hours of refrigeration and should keep well, covered and refrigerated, for 3 weeks. Sweet Zucchini Crumble
