In this video I show how I can (without a pressure canner) yellow crookneck squash for frying later. Most of us agree that there is not a good way to preserve summer squash, so that it will taste good later when we want some fried squash. I have canned okra this same way and decided to try canning summer squash. It turned out pretty good, but of course, not as good as fresh squash.

My family and I live in the foothills of South Carolina. Yes, I love okra and will be looking forward to your upcoming videos. I am now subscribed. We are on Facebook as Redgate Homestead. Thanks

Enjoyed your video. Looks delicious. I am originally from Dothan , Alabama. Can't beat those Alabama gardeners !

Hey OAG! I found you from chat on the Homestead Network so wanted to come watch your videos and had to comment on this one I LOVE SQUASH!! I can my squash for use in casserole normally and never thought about frying it but DANG this looks good!! Thanks for sharing.

you ever do cucumbers this way? i don't like pickles. Would you boil the cucs 8 mins also?

how long will the squash keep canned that way? This is the best idea on squash i have seen so far. Thanks!

looks Delicious!!

Yum, looks really good OAG.

Hell OAG, I have a very very important question!! I have 1 gallon packed tight. it has worked down to the bottom of the jar. The problem is I did this in 5 one gallon jars in 1993, yes I said 1993. they have been completely sealed, never opened. Are they too bad now? Should I find a way to dispose of them? I was also wondering if I could pour some of it around my gardens to ward off ground Hogs. I have whole families living here and adjoining neighbor property too. They have eaten almost everything. I am to the point that I should level it all and call it quit. Please, your advice would be greatly appreciated. I love your videos I have told you before because you are so good. Thank you in advanced. Have a great day. Miss Jeri...I will check back often. I know you are busy.

great video !! great job !! great update !!

Hey OAG, I'm from extreme southeast Alabama love ur videos on the squash and okra I'll definitely be trying them, lots of information and tips keep up the good work.thanks!

Yes, looks like a mini-pickling event, without the herbs. Vinegar pulls out excess water and toughens up the product, while salt pulls excess water, ... and both are antibacterial for safe canning. Wonder how long these will last and still be great tasting. Tx for the vid. Good info.

Good way to keep your squash after harvesting if you dont want to use it for a few days.. Love squash!!

Great information. Hope we get enough to can this year. Best wishes Bob.

thank you for sharing have a blessed day

That's genius! I never thought of cutting out the seeds. Prob keeps it from being so mushy. I am going to try this. I don't fry it but I sauté but I think it would work the same. You did refrigerate the jars did you? The seal is sufficient correct?

Now that my friend is some fine eatens. I was drooling once you coated that squash and put it up in that fry pan. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

Hay oldGardener, I saw your message on my YT channel and decided to come over and watch some of yours. Loved it so I subscribed. Us old guys need to stick together and teach these kids a thing or two about work ethic and the right way things got done. Keep up the good work.
