Erma in Jacksonville, FL was looking for a recipe for squash pickles. I make my
bread and butter pickles with a recipe just like this one and we love them. I
found this recipe on The Recipe Link and plan to make them when the zucchini
ripens later this month. I don't process them, just keep them in a gallon jar in
the refrigerator.

Combine remaining ingredients, except garlic in a large saucepot and bring to a
