Take advantage of your summer harvest.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been doing a lot of pickling lately; first my roasted yellow pickled beets and now this pickled yellow squash.<\/p>\n

Even if you don’t have a garden you can take advantage of finding great deals on produce and then canning some to enjoy in the winter. I didn’t find a great deal at the farmer’s market; their yellow squash was $3.00\/lb. I bought one pound of their squash and then went to my HEB and bought 6 lbs. at $.99\/lb. Now that’s a deal.<\/p>\n

My mother and dad both use to can things. It seemed like it was more my mother canning tomatoes and pickles from my dad’s garden and then after my dad retired they both tried their hand(s) at pickled okra, beets. When they moved over to Reelfoot Lake he even canned some fish he had caught then they would make fish cakes out of the canned fish. Now, I wasn’t too keen on trying that recipe but I’m sure if he made it, it was good.<\/p>\n

I’ve canned some marmalade before and some fig jam and even some cognac raisins to serve with cheese. Oh, I forgot, one of my sister’s (Terry) best canned items is her chow chow. It is better than any chow chow you will ever find in a grocery store and when I can get tomatoes for 50 cents a lb. I make some. I have to go to Missouri to get tomatoes at that price.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My sister gave me this recipe for pickled yellow squash and she has been making this since the 80’s. It is a great side dish type relish\/pickled vegetable type thing to have with almost any kind of meal. I haven’t tried putting it on hamburgers but I think it would be great. If you can get smaller type yellow squash, that works best; or that’s what I like to use. Add in some onion and bell pepper strips and a little sugar, vinegar and spices and that’s all it is to it.<\/p>\n
