Pattypan squash is a variety of summer squash. It’s perfect for pickling. It’s a great alternative to the widely known pickled cucumbers and, like them, can be served with sandwiches or as a side for dinner.
Notes
Preparation:
Pack previously washed, small pattypan squash tightly into clean jars. (If you only have larger ones, you can cut them into smaller pieces).
Bring the pickling brine ingredients to a boil together in a pot.
Add to each jar: slices of onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 bay leaves, 4 allspice berries, 8 peppercorns, a teaspoon of mustard seeds, and a sprig of dill.
Pour the hot brine over everything. Be careful not to burn yourself!
Seal the jars tightly and pasteurize for about 15 minutes.
DONE!
Enjoy! ...because homemade is better!
