Zucchini Pickle Question

[Guest guest]

I'm about to make zucchini squash pickles for my hubby. He's still at

the stage where he needs everything peeled, seeded, and cooked. I'm

planning on peeling the squash, but not seeding them since they are

very small. If the seeds end up bothering him, then we'll seed them

before he eats them. My question is, do I need to cook the squash,

then pickle them, or will it be cooked enough by the canning process

or softened by the pickling?

Thanks. Any other tips are appreciated since I've never pickled

anything before.
