Lee's Bread and Butter Squash Pickles

I literally discovered how wonderful these squash pickles are accidently. I had run short on cucumbers and wanted to use up all my pickling liquid and spices. So yellow squash it was, and continues to be a favorite every year.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large stockpot, bring cider vinegar, sugar, and Turmeric spice to a rolling boil. Let boil for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside.
- 2
Boil mason jars and lids for at least 2 minutes, to clean and sterilize.
- 3
Put each spice as listed into all jars, except for the Turmeric.
- 4
Pack each jar as tight as you can with the yellow squash slices. Putting a layer of onion slices halfway up the jar. When finished, ladle vinegar hot vinegar mixture into each jar, leaving a 1/4" headspace. Tap the sides each jar with a wooden spoon to release any air bubbles.
- 5
Put lids and bands onto your finished jars. Process in a water bath for 10 minutes.
- 6
When done, let jars rest until they are fully cooled, and tops have sealed. I usually let mine age for a month or so before I enjoy them for full flavor development, but you certainly don't have to. Enjoy. Note: (These pickles can just be cold packed (not processed in a water bath) and just kept refrigerated.)
- 7
This recipe will roughly do 3-4 quarts of pickles. I do much larger batches, so I tried to scale everything down for this recipe. I also do many different variations of these pickles. Different vinegars, sugar content, different spices, etc. But this is my go to variation.
