This summer squash pickle recipe is a keeper. It’s worth buying the squash at the market, but if you grow some in the garden, even better! You can use yellow squash and/or zucchini.

From the recipe’s author: “I was a resident of Rockingham County, New Hampshire, for 43 years and moved to Walland, Tennessee, in 1990. With a longer growing season, I needed to find a way to use all my summer squash, which is quite prolific. This recipe is fantastic!â€
