Ruby Donnelly's Easy Squash Pickles

Submitted by Sister Twelves

2 lbs zucchini
1 large onion (recipe does not specify, but I think she preferred a white onion)
1/2 c pickling salt

1. Slice the squash into either 1/4" rounds or 1/2" chunks as you desire and slice the onion into thin slices.
2. Place in a kettle and cover with water.
3. Add 2 trays of ice cubes and let stand overnight.

The next morning make your brine:
2 c white vinegar
2 c sugar
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp mustard seed

1. Bring to a boil and pour over the drained squash/onions. 
2. Bring back to a boil - boil for 5 minutes.
3. Seal in sterilized jars.
