Summer Squash / Zucchini

Published 2023-08-05
How I can Summer Squash or Zucchini in a light brine so that it can be hot water bathed at a shorter time than if it were canned with only plain water. These are wonderful in a quick stir fry....or just quickly sautéed, great for use in hot dishes, soups, and stews!

    Hi 👋🏽 I just wanted to tell you how much I love your videos! You are a wealth of knowledge and I thank god for having found your channel

    I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have only been gardening vegetables for a couple of years and have gotten to the stage where I have so much produce now that I have to learn how to can, but it feels like a bit of a minefield with so many different opinions on how to do things. Ypur videos set info out so clearly and since you have been doing this for such a long time, I feel confident in following your procedures. I swear, it feels like spending time with your favorite auntie. 💛 Thank you again.
  • 6-11-24, 5:45pm, I accidentally strolled upon your post & watched the yellow squash instructions for canning. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge & expertise. I subscribed & now following you.
  • Great job explaining the process. I definitely don't want mushy squash, just rinse batter and fry. Delicious. Or since and season and saute
  • Thank you for posting your video. This video has helped me for canning squash. ❤
  • I have been looking for a way to save my summer squash/ zucchini. Definatly going to try this. Thanks

    Thanks Lorrie, I did 18 pts of regular zucchini today. It's really expensive in the off season, and I have never been satisfied with the frozen results. Zucchini is a main ingredient in our favorite winter soup recipe, so this is going to be just great. My neighbors will be pretty happy as well. They stop answering the door around this time of year because they know it will be me with a big smile and a bag of the "dreaded zucchini".
  • I just did 14 quarts 2 days ago I will try your way next go around looks great.
  • Lorrie, you rock! I will write down these directions. I would love to save zucchini for stirfry & "pasta" dishes in the off season. I never thought it could be canned without turning to mush. Would long thick spears standing up in the jar like pickles work for zucchini? Then I could slice them for use when i get them out of the jar if you think so. I will order some calcium chloride. Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia! 🧡🧡🧡
  • I bet this would be great for green beans also because I hate it when my green beans get mushy or even soft. I like them crisp
  • Thank you so much for this video! I am going to can my squash like this.....yay! What is the brine you create and the ingredient amounts?
  • You were gracious in giving the us the amounts of salt and calcium choride for pints....but didn't give a processing time or say if they would process for the same 15 mins. Could you please let me know if pints are for a different processing time or not...? Thank you I'm new to canning, and finding your videos extremely full of knowledge! You're becoming my go to channel ...and yes, the squash looked beautiful and so are you It's just me (im also disabled)....so I'm guessing most of my canning will be done in pints. I bought a 23qt canner originally but just purchased a 9.5qt Carey Electric canner....so I can do "small batch" (easier on me physically and my wallet)
