"Squash Pickles"

     

This is a really great way to eat squash if you don't like them any other way.  I don't like squash and i actually like them this way. You have to try it somtime my kids will even eat them pickled like this.

4 quarts squash, 2 quarts onions, 1/2 cups salt, 5 cups sugar, 5 cups vinegar, 11/2 cups teaspoon turmeric, 1 easpoon celery seed And 2 quarts cracked Ice

Mix sliced squash and onions, sprinkle with salt, cover with ice, soak 3 hours.  Drain and rinse with cold water place in kettle add remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil, stirring often. Place in sterlized jars and seal at once.  (Do not make the the rest of it before the squash are done soaking, they will not taste right.) My husband tried that and they where really bad, my house smelled really bad too with vinegar soaking in a pot for 3 hours, can you imagine!!
