zucchini and might like to see it. It was in the R.S.V.P. section as a topping for Cuban Sandwiches.

Zucchini Pickles

Artisan Restaurant, Paso Robles, CA

2 1/2 pounds zucchini, trimmed, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt

2 cups Champagne vinegar

1 cup sugar

1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon celery seeds

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds

Toss first 3 ingredients in a large colander. Place in sink and let drain 2 hours. Rinse vegetables; drain and transfer to kitchen towels. Gentle squeeze vegetables to dry. Place in a 8-cup glass measuring cup or large bowl.

Bring vinegar and all remaining ingredients to boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes. Pour vinegar mixture over zucchini mixture, pressing on vegetables to submerge. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill overnight. Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep pickles chilled.

Makes about 6 cups

 
Waahh! I still have only male flowers (in Michigan)

I'm starting to worry that my plants will not produce any zucchinis. We have been eating the male blossoms stuffed and in croissant quiche, and more keep coming every day, but I thought that we would be seeing tiny (or bigger) zucchinis by now. Oh how I want an overload of zucchini! Colleen

 
How can you tell a male flower versus female? I did not realize they produced both

I have a huge, healthy zuke plant with tons of flowers but no fruit. I thought it was a lack of bees????

 
The female flowers fruit, the male do not...

so, the female flowers have the small baby fruit swelling at the base, the male flower just have a stem.

 
Well then, I guess my beautiful plant with all the flowers are all male. The plant is taking up

over half of the raised bed, no fruit from any of the flowers.
