Steps:
- Using a mandolin, carefully slice the summer squash. If using a knife, make sure to cut pieces as evenly as possible, to the same thickness. Thicker slices will result in a crunchier pickle. Paper-thin will be softer.
- Slice the small onion, or shallot. Toss both onion and squash in a bowl with a tablespoon of salt and let drain in a colander or strainer over a bowl for 2 hours or overnight. Pat dry.
- Make the pickling solution: In a small pot, bring white wine vinegar, water, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves, let cool slightly.
- In each 4 oz jar, add about a tablespoon of fresh dill, a teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp peppercorns, a few slices of chile pepper and sliced garlic cloves. You could also try experimenting with other seeds like whole coriander, cumin, or fennel seed. Then layer the squash and onion in jars, and top off with the pickling liquid.
- Press down on the squash. Seal, and let cool in the fridge.

SQUASH PICKLES WITH ZUCCHINI OR YELLOW SUMMER SQUASH
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients and canning equipment.
- Place zucchini or summer squash and onions in a large nonreactive pot ; add the pickling salt and enough water to cover. Let stand for 2 hours.
- Pour the mixture into a colander; rinse well with cold water and drain thoroughly.
- Return the rinsed squash to the nonreactive pot.
- Pour the vinegar into a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil and stir in 1 cup of the sugar, celery seed, turmeric, and mustard seed.
- Pour the hot vinegar over the squash and onions. Taste and add up to 1 cup additional sugar depending upon your preference. Let stand for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the jars and lids . Wash the jars and lids in hot, soapy water. Fill a large canner with water.
- Place a rack in the pan and add the jars. Bring to a simmer. Turn the heat down to low to keep the jars hot.
- Put the lids in a separate saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a bare simmer; do not boil. Keep them hot in the barely simmering water until it's time to seal the jars.
- Bring the squash and vinegar mixture back to a boil, cook for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
- Pack the boiled squash pickles into the hot sterilized jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe the edges of the jar with a clean, damp paper towel and seal with the lid and screw-on bands. Do not overtighten.
- Process pint or quart jars in the boiling water bath for 10 minutes from 1 to 1,000 feet, 15 minutes from 1,001 to 6,000 feet, or 20 minutes above 6,000 feet in altitude. Keep the water at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars, adding extra boiling water to cover, if necessary. Serve and enjoy.

SUMMER SQUASH REFRIGERATOR PICKLES
With its spongy texture, summer squash will soak up the spicy flavors in this mix. Experiment with other spices if you wish. I like to use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini. Add the pickled squash to salads, use it as a relish or as a condiment with grains, meat or fish.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt and garlic cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, divide spices and optional dill sprigs between 2 pint jars or use 1 quart jar. Pack sliced zucchini into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space below the rim of the jar.
- Use hot, sterilized jars. If using pint jars, divide garlic that is in the vinegar mixture between the 2 jars. Pour in the hot vinegar mixture, leaving 1/2 inch below the rim of the jar. Push the squash down into the liquid to cover completely. Seal the jars and leave to cool, then refrigerate for up to 2 months. For best results, don't open for 2 days.

Steps:
- In a large non-aluminum pot, combine the squash, bell pepper, and onions. Cover with salt, and let stand for 2 hours to release the liquids. Stir occasionally.
- Just before the 2 hours are up, combine the sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, turmeric and celery seed in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Drain the salty liquid from the vegetables. Pour the spice brine over the vegetables, and let stand for 2 more hours.
- Bring to a boil once again, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Ladle into 1 pint sterile jars, filling with the liquid to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean towel, and run a thin spatula around the inside of the jar to remove air bubbles. Seal with lids and rings. Process for 10 minutes in a simmering water bath to seal completely.

PICKLED YELLOW SUMMER SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI
Steps:
- 1. Slice the zucchini and squash and onion as thin as possible 2. Brine the above mixture: Place in a covered large pot and cover with lots of salt and water. The water should taste very salty. Let sit for 1 hr or more (at this point they taste awesome and you could just serve this) 3. Combine the rest of the ingredients and simmer on the stove for 5 minutres. Cool, until warm (hot liquid will cook the veggies and ruin the crunch we are going for). 4. After bine as sat for around an hour, dump it - at this point the vegetables should taste excellent. 5. Pour vinegar mixture into the pot with vegetables. Cover and let this sit for at least a day. Because we are not jaring and heating, you should not keep these around forever (like they would even last).
