Time 4h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

  • 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.

SUMMER SQUASH REFRIGERATOR PICKLES



Summer Squash Refrigerator Pickles image

With its spongy texture, summer squash will soak up the spicy flavors in this mix. Experiment with other spices if you wish. I like to use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini. Add the pickled squash to salads, use it as a relish or as a condiment with grains, meat or fish.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, snack, side dish

Yield 2 pints, serving 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons raw brown (turbinado) sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large garlic cloves, cut in half lengthwise
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 dried red peppers
Several sprigs fresh dill (optional)
1 pound mixed zucchini and yellow squash, sliced thin

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan combine cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt and garlic cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, divide spices and optional dill sprigs between 2 pint jars or use 1 quart jar. Pack sliced zucchini into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space below the rim of the jar.
  • Use hot, sterilized jars. If using pint jars, divide garlic that is in the vinegar mixture between the 2 jars. Pour in the hot vinegar mixture, leaving 1/2 inch below the rim of the jar. Push the squash down into the liquid to cover completely. Seal the jars and leave to cool, then refrigerate for up to 2 months. For best results, don't open for 2 days.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe squash for pickling. Avoid squash that is blemished or bruised.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squash into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you don't have pickling salt, you can use regular salt. However, you will need to reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Be sure to sterilize your jars and lids before canning the pickles. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • Store the pickles in a cool, dark place. They will keep for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Sweet squash pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for snacking, using as a condiment, or even giving as gifts. With a little planning and effort, you can enjoy this tasty treat all year long. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
