Pickles and Preserves Recipes

Yield: 6 pints

I was a resident of Rockingham County, NH for 43 years and moved to Walland, TN in 1990. With a longer growing season, I needed to find a way to use summer squash which is quite prolific. This recipe is fantastic!

• 10 cups thinly sliced summer squash
• 2 cups thinly sliced onion rings
• 2 cups thinly sliced green pepper
• 1 large jar diced pimento
• 2/3 cup salt

Soak squash, onions, green pepper in 2 quarts water for 2 hours. Drain.

Syrup

• 3 cups sugar
• 2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp celery seed
• 2 tsp mustard seed

Combine syrup ingredients and bring to a boil.

Drop drained vegetables and pimento into the syrup but don't cook. Mix well.

Put mix into hot sterilized jars and cover with syrup. Process in water bath for 15 minutes.
