Pickled Squash
I hated squash as a kid.
Heck, I am picky about my consumption of any gourd to this day, except for pumpkin.
However, my Grandma West had within her grasp the sole means I would eat squash happily. Delectable, bread-and-butter pickled squash. I completely forgot this stuff was squash. I remember making myself sick on them a time or two, even, before I recalled that they were, indeed, slices of stuff I normally shrunk away from.
All that said, here's my Grandma West's pickled squash recipe. I hope you enjoy it. :)
