Summer Squash Pickles
This summer squash pickles recipe is a great use for extra summer squash or zucchini from the garden.
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!”

I grew up in Walland Tenn. I lived with my Grandparents there. My Uncle now lives on the farm where I grew up. I hope you love and enjoy Walland as much as I did. Love your squash pickle recipe.
