Description

I think you'll like this Lithuanian-style zucchini recipe as much as I do. The combination of tomatoes and zucchini is very interesting on its own, and with piquant onion added, the appetizer is beyond all praise! So I'll tell you how to make Lithuanian-style zucchini. Store in a cool, dark place.

    4. Or you can seal them in sterile jars for the winter. If you decide to can them, sterilize the jars with zucchini for 8–10 minutes, then seal tightly. Turn the jars upside down and leave them that way until they cool, wrapped in a towel, then store in a dark, cool place—a cellar or a dark room.
