Zucchini?

[Guest guest]

Greetings!

I'm curious . . . anyone have experience brine-fermenting or lactofermenting

zucchini or other summer squashes?

With the fading aspect of summer here in southern New England, I have so much

zucchini (and then some) that I am seeking some new and creative ways to process

it for winter food. I have quite a bit vinegar-pickled, dried and frozen so far,

and seek some new ideas . . .

Got any?

Be well by Nature,

Rose,

I have fermented zucchini (lactofermentation). The flavor was ok; the texture

somewhat mushy.

You could try shredding some zucchini and mixing it with other vegetables to

make a better product. My opinion of zucchini is has never been all that great.

Others may differ.

But fermenting it does work.

Thanks Ellis,

Your insights match my own speculation, that while fermenting the soft squash

would preserve it, it would be of a less than desirable texture. I may play with

a *small* batch ! just for the experience!
