Bread and Butter Squash Pickles (Regular and Sugar-Free) image

Last year we wound up with a bumper crop of yellow squash. Trying to be creative in how we put it up, I experimented with a regular cucumber pickle recipe and came up with these.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 yellow straight or crookneck squash, thinly sliced (any size but the smaller they are, the fewer seeds)
2 onions, sliced into thin rings
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced (optional)
1/4 c salt
2 1/4 c sugar or 3 1/2 cups splenda
2 1/4 c apple cider vinegar
2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp mustard seed
1 Tbsp pickling spice

Steps:

  • 1. Do not peel squash. Slice squash, onions, and green pepper in thin strips. Add 1/4 cup salt, cover with cold water. Let stand for one hour, use ice to keep cool or refrigerate.
  • 2. Combine sugar, vinegar, celery seed and turmeric. Boil ingredients for three minutes, stirring occasionally, then add drained squash mixture. Simmer for three more minutes. Bring to a boil. Pack in hot canning jars and fill to 1/2 inch of top of jar with juice. Makes about 4 or 5 pints, double if you want more.
  • 3. PROCESS JARS IN BOILING WATER BATH 10 MINUTES.
  • 4. Notes: To a double batch I used for spices: 3 T. mustard seed 2 T. pickling spice 1 T. celery seed And a total of 7 cups splenda to 4.5 cups vinegar
