Pickled Yellow Squash

Recipe #318691 | 2½ hours | 2 hours prep | add private note

My first year of college I waited tables in a small family owned restaurant. This was one of my favorite things offered on the salad bar. I was lucky enough to get the family recipe. I have never made it, but I sure ate a lot of it. The recipe says it makes 2 quarts, but that sure does not sound right to me unless those veggies shrivel up a lot!

2 quarts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 8 cups yellow squash, sliced thick
  • 2 cups onions, cut in large chunks
  • 1 cup green pepper, cut in large chunks

Brine ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the squash in a large pot and salt heavily. Let stand for one hour.
  2. 2
    Drain the liquid from the squash. Take paper towels and wipe thoroughly until most of the salt is removed. Do not wash the squash!
  3. 3
    Prepare the brine and place in a large pot.
  4. 4
    Add the green pepper and bring to a boil.
  5. 5
    Add squash and onion. Return to a boil.
  6. 6
    Remove from heat. Put in jars and seal.

Maybe rename as: Disappearing Pickled Yellow Squash. I made these on a whim, having too much squash to keep keep up with. DH & children LOVE them & have taken them to work to share. Rave reviews all 'round! I used 2 tsp of pickling spice in place of the celery seeds & mustard seeds.

    The best!! I made a HUGE batch when our yellow squash came in early this summer, and then I had to make 2 more HUGE batches from squash I bought at the Farmer's Market...that is how much my family LOVED this recipe. Awesome recipe...great job!!

    Very nice! I made as directed, but cut the recipe back to 2 cups squash and just put in the fridge. Nice flavor. Thanks!
