  This recipe is incredible! I made a batch a week or 2 ago and i find myself eating it straight out of the jar when peckish and also as an accompaniment to anything vaquely mediteranean or with cheese. Goes very well with a roasted vegetable couscous. Took a jar round to my mother who loved it too. Well worth making. mouth watering!

  Other than the mustard powder & the chilli, it's the same as a recipe i use for cucumbers, from my canadian family, that we call "bread and butter pickle" And i made 2 kilner jars yesterday with my own cucumbers!

  What a fantastic way of using up courgettes. A really nice pickle. I can see me making this every year. The mustard and chilli give it a lovely flavour.

  I just made this and the sauce i very runny, is this correct? Does it have to kept in the fridge even if I boiled the jars for about 15 minutes. This was my first time trying to make pickles and I was a bit lost!

  I should have rated this 5 star. It's absolutly lovely I can't leave it alone Good job it's very low in calories as I ate 2/3 of a jar in one go. Will be making this again and again. When the jar was finished I used the pickling sauce as a dressing on my salad. One of the best courgette recipes I have tried .

  These are very similar to the pickles I make myself. I also add some minced fresh ginger and garlic, and some freshly ground coriander seeds to the pickling mix, and a handfull of dill at the end is very good also.....Yummy

  I made a large batch of this & used some as Xmas presents with the Balsamic Pickled Shallots on another page. Was really pleased with the results & how easy it was to make. Gorgeous, just the right texture for a good pickle.

  Isn't it meant to be like pickled onions? That's what it looks like in the photo anyway. Pickled courgettes, it's not a chutney.

  Perfect. My other half requested it hotter so on second attempt added extra chilli which worked a treat. Great with cheese or hummous.

  Simple but delicious. Really crunchy and sweet/spicy. Didn't have any mustard poder so added grated fresh ginger which worked really well. Good with cold meat and cheese or just straight from jar!
