Recipe Summary Pickled Squash

Set some of that abundant summer squash aside for the winter months with this awesome pickled squash recipe.

Ingredients | Pickled Cabbage Recipe

¼ cup salt

2 ½ pounds young yellow squash and zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips

2 small onions, thinly sliced

2 ¼ cups white sugar

2 cups distilled white vinegar

2 teaspoons mustard seed

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon celery seed

Directions

In a large non-aluminum pot, combine the squash, bell pepper, and onions. Cover with salt, and let stand for 2 hours to release the liquids. Stir occasionally.

Just before the 2 hours are up, combine the sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, turmeric and celery seed in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Drain the salty liquid from the vegetables. Pour the spice brine over the vegetables, and let stand for 2 more hours.

Bring to a boil once again, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Ladle into 1 pint sterile jars, filling with the liquid to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean towel, and run a thin spatula around the inside of the jar to remove air bubbles. Seal with lids and rings. Process for 10 minutes in a simmering water bath to seal completely.

For safety when canning and preserving foods, contact your local extension for processing times in your area that will be specific to your altitude.
