by Terry Redell.  The recipe in the photo,

is the handwritten recipe by Momma.

Ingredients:

10 cups ground yellow squash

4 cups fine chopped onion

On Momma's recipe she wrote,
"Billy liked this very much."

1 sweet red pepper - chopped

1 sweet green pepper - chopped

3 celery chopped

5 tbsp. pickling salt

Mix well and store overnight in 

refrigerator.  Drain well.  While 

squash mixture is draining, combine 

the following:

2 1/2 cups white vinegar

1/2  cup water

5 cups sugar

1 tbsp. nutmeg

1 tbsp. powdered sugar

1 tbsp. cornstarch

1 tsp. turmeric

1 tbsp. black pepper                                                                   

1 tsp. celery seed

In a large pot, mix well, add drained squash mixture,

 and then slowly bring to a boil while stirring so it doesn't

burn and stick to the bottom of pot.

Put boiling mixture into hot jars and seal 

in hot water bath for 10 minutes.
