Verse of the Day
“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”
Isaiah 55:6 NIV
Thank you to my friend and dental hygienist Connie Miller! Recently I ran into Connie at a local restaurant. She told me she needed a recipe for Squash Pickles. I wasn’t sure I had one but I told her I would look. I went digging through recipes from two of my grandmothers, my recipes AND I asked my mother! We came up with this Squash Pickle recipe although neither mom nor I have ever made it. I passed the recipe on to Connie, but I was curious about it and decided to give it a try. I bought yellow neck squash from a local truck farmer and set out to make my first batch of Squash Pickles. A few days later we gave them a try at lunch. Turns out — they are WONDERFUL. This pickle tastes like Bread and Butter Cucumber pickles but they are crisper than cucumber pickles. I went a little heavy on the onion because mom loves the pickled onion, and I left out the sweet peppers – because I forgot to put them in
The pickles are bright yellow, sweet and tangy and if you prefer, you can chop all the ingredients and make Squash Relish by using the same recipe. I think I just may take one jar of pickles and chop them up for relish! Even if you don’t make pickles, maybe you will enjoy the pictures! Thanks again Connie!
