Recipe got rave reviews.. some suggestions from reviewers included: Great way to use up zucchini! I didn't have pickling salt, so use table salt. It came out fine. Also, did a 15 minute hot water bath. I matched zucchini and squash then added about 1 1/2 cups crushed pineapple for a bit of sweetness.
