My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Squash Pickles

Can you tell I'm on a pickle mission? This is what I made yesterday. They are sooo good in a salad or on an antipasto tray. You will love them!

Squash Pickles

print recipe

2 pounds summer squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (4 medium)
1 1/3 cups sliced onions (about 1 1/3 medium)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspon ginger
2 cups water
1 cup vinegar (I use white)

Combine squash and onion, set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil. Add squash and onions; boil 10 minutes.

Pack hot vegetables and liquid into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
