Ingredients
- 10 cups sliced squash, such as zucchini and yellow summer squash
- 2 cups sliced onions
- Kosher salt, for sprinkling vegetables
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pickling spice
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
Directions
In a large pot or bowl, layer sliced squash and sliced onions, and sprinkle each layer generously with kosher salt and let sit for 1 hour. Drain well.
In a large non-reactive pot, combine vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, and crushed red pepper and bring to a boil. Add squash and onions and return to a boil.
Divide vegetables between sterilized jars and ladle enough pickling liquid over vegetables to come within 1/2?inch from top of jar. Wipe rims of jars clean, cover with lids and screw tops in place. Process jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Remove jars from water bath and cool. Jars should seal as they cool. Any jars that do not seal should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 weeks.

The recipe omitted to say that the brined squash should not only be drained but washed. My first batch was excessively salty, although the rest of the flavors were excellent. I am going to make another batch but will wash the brined squash first. I gave the recipe 2 stars only because of the excess saltiness. The seoncd batchmay very well rate 5 stars.

My vegetable garden thrived this year, and we resorted to canning to keep up with the beautiful produce. I used this magnificent recipe and added cucumbers to it as well. They were the very best "bread & butter" pickled cucumters, squash and zucchini I have ever tasted. The first bite brings a sweet crunch and follows with a mild kick from the red pepper flakes. All whom we shared with have begged for more! Easy, exceptional recipe!

I made a triple batch of these pickles last night because I had so much fresh summer squash and zucchini growing in my garden. Each and every jar sealed within two minutes of coming out of the hot water bath! I put a jar in the fridge this morning and had a few for lunch. They're delicious!
