Jody, My husband pickles these crooklike squashs otherwise known as Summer Squash. All he does is cuts them into bite size pieces and puts them in canning jars just like you would pickle cucumbers. He uses onions, garlic and hot peppers also in the mixture. He processes them as if you were pickling cucumbers, using the same spices and fluids.
