This recipe was given to me in 1974 by a sweet lady who has gone to be with the Lord. She had brought these to an all day singing at the church I was raised in & I loved them. Hope you enjoy as well.

How To Make squash pickles

  • 1
    Mix onions, bell peppers and squash in large pan, sprinkle with the salt. Let set one hour.
  • 2
    Bring to boil vinegar, sugar, celery seed & mustard seed. (celery & mustard seeds may be put in a cheese cloth bag to be removed before adding squash, bell peppers & onions, I prefer the seeds in my pickles)
  • 3
    Press water from squash, bell peppers & onions with hands, drop in boiling vinegar. Bring to a big boil, count 5 minutes. Put in clean hot jars, with hot lids & rings. These will self seal.
