Chayote or Prickly Zucchini Preserve

Tips: Delicious and crunchy, you can serve them as an appetizer, or to make a sandwich. I love zucchini and provolone sandwich.

Storage
They are stored in a cool pantry for up to 1 year, ensuring the oil level is always high.

Once the jar is opened, it should be stored in the fridge and consumed within 1 week, which is why it is preferable to use small jars.

NOTE: Some food preservation systems for long periods, as in this case, require precise precautions to prevent harmful bacteria from developing. Please, when you decide to prepare this type of recipe, make sure to follow all the correct preparation methods and procedures.
