SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI WITH HOT PEPPERS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Trim and cut the yellow squash and zucchini into 1/4-inch slices. Cut the tomatoes into 1-inch cubes.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the zucchini and yellow squash. Cook over high heat, stirring gently, until cooked but still firm, about 5 minutes. Add the onions, garlic and jalapeno peppers and toss to blend.
• Add the thyme, bay leaf, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir to blend and cook, tossing and turning, about 5 minutes. Add the basil and stir. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.

PICKLED SQUASH

Steps:

• In a large non-aluminum pot, combine the squash, bell pepper, and onions. Cover with salt, and let stand for 2 hours to release the liquids. Stir occasionally.
• Just before the 2 hours are up, combine the sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, turmeric and celery seed in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Drain the salty liquid from the vegetables. Pour the spice brine over the vegetables, and let stand for 2 more hours.
• Bring to a boil once again, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Ladle into 1 pint sterile jars, filling with the liquid to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean towel, and run a thin spatula around the inside of the jar to remove air bubbles. Seal with lids and rings. Process for 10 minutes in a simmering water bath to seal completely.
