How to Can Squash for Frying

- It is possible to can squash for frying! In this video, I show you how to can it and also how to fry it! It turns out crispy and tastes fresh out of the garden! This is an old-time way of canning it.
The brine is:
9 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vinegar. Bring to a boil to melt the sugar.
Fill jars with squash, salt (1/2 t. pint, 1 t. quart), and cover with hot brine. Water bath can for 10 minutes pints and 15 minutes quarts.
Depending on how many you are making, you may have to double the brine.

Oh thank you! What a nice comment to remind you of your aunt.
She's so fun, I could learn from her all day. Thank you for the video. You are absolutely delightful.
Thanks for the nice comment. All I ever wanted was to encourage others that they can cook and can too!
I have been canning since 1973 and this is a new one for me….frying canned yellow squash. Thanks! Nancy in east Texas
Bloopers had me laughing. Thank you for sharing!
I'm a goof up every day!
I've just found your channel and have been binge-watching all your videos. I love everyone of them. Keep them coming!!
How sweet. So many people watch but don't take the time to comment. Thank you!
Lovely Miss Jones, love your style and your bloops, please don't fire your video lady. Both of you are Great together ❤️ Thanks for sharing 👍
Awe thanks! You're right I NEED my video lady!
I just found you! I’m so glad to watch you cook and your tips on cutting the smaller squash on the diagonal made me want to smack myself. Genius! It’s the simple things that get me every time. Thank you, Mrs. Joan.
You are welcome! I love anything about cooking and tips to make it easier. Thanks for watching!
I wish we had smellevision! I bet those fried squash smell so good too!
@@tarinflyte3326 They did!
Awesome! I used to coat mine with flour but I changed to meal. Stays on better & coats it well & tastes better too. Thanks for everything! God Bless!
Good tip!
How have i not found your channel sooner??? I love your enegy and how you speak you sound just like home to me. This video actually is a true blessing. No one in my family likes stewed squash but we all loved fried, and right now my counter is covered in crookneck that I just had to find a way to use and not loose. I was going to go ahead and can thinking oh well there will be squash casseroles in our future but not now. Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick.
Awe thanks. How nice to write me and let me know.
Thank you for the video on canning squash. Definitely gonna do it , save freezer space.
It certainly saves freezer space and if power goes out it doesn't affect them.
I stumbled upon your channel today, and I'm gonna tell you, I just love you. I have been binge watching your channel all day long. God bless you, You're so cute
What a nice comment. My main hope is that my efforts will be a blessing and help to others.
If you take the water in the canner to only the height of the produce in the jar , you will not get syphing and you will get great results every time.
Thank you. I'll have to try that.
Yup that's what they do in Europe
All canning recipes emphasize to cover all food that is water bath. I would not trust safe, unless covered an inch or more.
The main reason for syphoning is removing the jars before they can climatize. Let them rest in the canner for At least 10 minutes
Siphoning only happens; if you didn't debubble the jar. Rapid heating of the pot with jars that are not the same acclimated temp. Rapid cooling of the jars after processing. Allow them to acclimate in the canner for 10 minutes with the room air. Excessive shaking of the jars while moving from canner to countertop or while still boiling inside.
The flats are designed like a one way airlock. Air/steam is expelled out of the jar, preventing any water sucking into the jar. Since this is a water bath technique, the water needs to cover the jars to simulate "pressure" and create an encapsulation of a sterile environment; while allowing gasses to escape the jar, which creates the vacuum to suck the lid down in place. The sealant forms around the jar rim and as it cools, seals the contents in a sterile environment.
😂 I love your blooper reel Mrs. Joan 🥰 I'll be trying this canning recipe out first thing in the morning! 😊
It's so easy! Good luck!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
I just discovered your channel today. I really enjoy learning from you!

Just love to watch and listen to you, you are so pleasant and easy to follow thank you
What a nice thing to say. Thank you.
Mrs Joan, I just came across you today for the first time. You remind me of a grandmother cooking in the kitchen. I really enjoyed your video. Do you can corn on the corn? My grandma always did but I don't have her recipe. It is 100% better than frozen.
I haven't tried it but sounds delicious!
I’m so glad I found you you take me back to my grandma cooking thank you
When I'm in the kitchen using my mom's and grandma's cooking utensils it makes me feel close to them. Oh the sweet memories.
Looks great
You are as cute a button....I have enjoyed watching you ....what an amazing personality you have. I am teaching myself how to can, I have learned so much from you . I never had a grandmother who was alive to teach me all of this. THis is going to be a learning experience for me! THank you for wanting to share you knowledge and experience with all of us.
It is a deep desire I have to help others any way I can. Thank you for such a nice comment.
I’m going to try canning some.
Enjoy the process. I believe you'll like it!

Thank you!
Looks delicious
@@LindaLangdon-nh2vm Thank you!
You are someone that I would love to sit beside during a meeting; oh, the fun we would have. Our nephew blessed us with a huge sack of squash last night and I will be canning a good portion of it this morning. Thank you for sharing.
Girl I love to have a good time. I love making new friends on here!
thank you so much....... was wondering if I was going to have to freeze it all....this is a great alternative...... thanks so much
You're welcome! It's great to have another option.
new subscriber here. I just found your vid on my feed. Love it. I love yellow squash. I'm keeping this recipe. haha it is one of my fave veges. Hard to get good ones from the store sometimes. So when i can or when i can grow my own, ima doing this. haha Thank you for sharing this delicious way to prepare foods.
Thanks for watching and you are welcome!
To store the rings I’ve seen people put them on a bungee cord then hang them somewhere, it seems to be the method that takes up the least amount of space 😁 Enjoyed the video! Always love some good ole fried squash 😊
Great idea!
That what I do too. I separate by size. Like small mouth rings on one bungee and wide mouth on a different one. That way I don't have to sort through and take a bunch off to get to the right size. Then I just hang them on a nail from the rafters in our basement. You could of course hang wherever is convenient for you.
I don't know why people hang Rings on a cord, they could get bent!!!
I keep all of my Rings and Lids on my Jars. Everything is right there ready to go when I am canning.
@@carolwinick8377 we store ours in our basement, so if we store our rings on our jars they get rusted on the jars pretty quickly. We have a 107 year old farmhouse and while we did stop the water from pouring in the basement directly, there is still that general basement damp. And before it gets mentioned a dehumidifier would not be a good idea. Those also pull moisture through the blocks of older not perfectly sealed basements and cause the blocks to crumble prematurely. So storing rings separate on a cord hanging from a rafter vs on the jars down on a shelf seems to keep them from rusting quite as fast and doesn't let them rust on the jars when they eventually do. Once full and canned I remove rings for food storage as recommend and I have switched to tattler reusable canning lids so I also don't have to worry about the lids themselves rusting while on the jars down there.
We have a 103 year old house. Never had a ring rust, yet. @@punkstermom1984
Thank you - Thank you! These were lovely. Just got home from the market after buying a box full of zucchini to put some up to have all winter long. Many thanks!
How did these turn out? I've never done zucchini, only yellow squash.
Hi Mrs. Joan,
Hope you had a wonderful day today. Just wanted to let you know that I was able to try your canning recipe today. My husband Gene picked some fresh squash and I told him I just had to try it. I usually pressure can mine. My jars sealed and they look good . Thanks for sharing your recipe .

Boaz,Alabama
That's how we're doing all our squash this year. Saves on freezer space and just as good!
Yummy,Yummy for our tummy's.Great job Ma'am.Thank you for sharing your receipt.
You are welcome!
I am def going to do this. You solved my squash problem, I have hated canned squash but this will be great.
We now prefer it over frozen. Both are good though.
Im excited to try this, I do the same with okra to fry. Just found your channel and subscribed 😊
Yes I do okra too! Thanks for subscribing!
@AtHomewithMrsJoan
I'm binge watching now. I am looking forward to more of your canning and cooking videos. I bet between you and I, we have close to 80 years of doing both. LOL 😆
@@teriadams7398 Sounds like we have lots in common!
Yum!
It's a keeper!
I think the spinner is a great idea and how about using a tea towel or a food press love the video
Thanks! I love others ideas!
My momma always sprinkled little sugar on them when frying. Zucchini and green tomatoes to. They are delicious
That sounds good!
WOW. Hot water bath canning looks so much easier and faster than the regular canning. I'm going to do this this weekend if I have power. How long do the squash last on the shelf? 1 year, 2years, etc? Thanks for the direction on how to do this.
We love squash so much so mine does good to last a year.
Thank you for your fun videos. I'm a beginner and these are very helpful. My quesiton about squash - do you can all squashes the same way and do you leave the seeds in all of them?
Yes I leave seeds in. You could do any kind. I do yellow as that is what we love.
Omg I love you!
Thank you
Hi, new subscriber here! I can squash relish. Have never done it this way. I will definitely be doing! My deep freezer died this past weekend. Lost everything 😢! I think I will be canning more items in the future. Have you ever canned meat? I have not, however one of my aunts always did snd it was delicious! Thank you!❤😊🥰
Yes roast, bacon, sausage, chicken, scrambled hamburger, chicken,...my canned chicken video is in my canning play list. Haven't had time to video others yet. Hopefully someday. All meats pressure can 75 minutes pints 90 minutes quarts. I only do pints for us. Good luck.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan thanks
I love your videos and think maybe I could can zucchini this way. And I absolutely love your little dipper I would love to have one also, my mom had one a little bigger than yours. Do you know where I can find one like it? I think you are awesome!
Another lady said she got one on Amazon. I don't remember which of my videos she wrote that on. Mine is very old. Let me know if you find one!
I just found you today and subscribed. My name is also Joan.
Hello my new friend, Joan!
i had no idea you could can yellow squash in a water bath canner i am so going to do that when they go on sale up here.
Awe...good to hear from you!
Mrs. Joan - I love to can! I water bath and pressure can. I would love to know your preference - frozen squash or canned squash? I prefer to can because the freezer space is precious. I have canned squash (pumpkin), and it comes out mushy. I only use it for sauces.
We actually prefer the canned squash that we fry.
Love your personality.
Why do you add sugar n vinegar? I just want to learn.
I got this recipe from a very old canner. They said vinegar raises acidity and sugar would make squash more firm when cooked. Personally I believe you could leave out the sugar but not vinegar.
I love that dipper , where can I get one?
It was my grandmothers, then my mom's so I don't know where to find one other than an antique shop. Makes me feel close to mom and maw maw using their things.
Hi it's Lorraine . I found a 3 pk. on Amazon .I got the large set. They were $27anf some cents.
Oh, Mrs. Joan, you use the same kind of "lids" I do for my pots and pans! (I won't tell they're really pizza pans.😉)
Works great!
Looks ever so delicious!!!!
🥰
Looks delicious! Just curious, can you taste the sugar in the cooked squash?
No not at all. It and the vinegar rinses off. Hope you are well.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan Thank you, I am. I hope you and your family are enjoying your summer. 🤗
Can you do that with patty pan and zucchini?
I've only done the yellow squash. I would think so, but haven't tried yet. My husband never plants patty pan.
I use 8 tbsp salt to 1/2 cup vinegar and little more than half gallon of water bring to boil add squash for 5 min put in jars water bath 15 minutes
Thanks! Might try that!
Is that for pints and how many pints or quarts will the syrup fill please. Thank you for posting as I do not want the sugar in mine
@@WonbyGrace2 it's the brine you let it come to boil add your squash cook 5 mins put in whatever size jars you choose. Water bath for 15 mins
@@WonbyGrace2 mine made 8 wide mouth pints, 1 recipe of brine.
You can use your PC as a steam canner.
@@jeanettegilder1616 Thanks! I always welcome input!
I just found your channel. I'm wondering what size Dutch oven you have there? 10 qt? 15 qt?
The pot I made the brine in is 5 quart.
How long will the squash last in the can with the water bath method?
We love squash. So 1 year is as long as I've kept them. But as long as you have a good tight seal, i wouldn't be afraid to eat much longer...
Could you use pickle crisp?
Not familiar with doing that.
Joan have you canned just regular squash by water bath ?
Use this same recipe. But haven't done zucchini.
How long will it keep aftering canning? And i have to have an onion cooked with my squash personal preference.
We just fried some that was a year old and was delicious. Ours is usually gone by then.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan thanks
Joan for casserole how do you fix your squash
Look in my videos. I have one called Squash Alabama. If you've asking about canning, it's the same canning process. I open the jar and either fry them or boil until fork tender for casserole.
Best to use colander, then coffee filters if you needed. Only use foid grade paper towels to avoid CHEMICALS.
Thank you!
does it get real soft mushy when you water bath them
I just drain and pat off extra liquid with a paper towel. Fry as usual and they are ok.
you only need to put enough eater in the pot ,rhat comes to the same heighth as the produce in your jar. Any more water than that can cause syphfing.
Thank you.
You mentioned, whilst cleaning the rims that you have to be careful because of the salt but you didn’t mention adding any salt to the liquid?
I went back to look and around 6:11 minutes I add the salt. I got scared that I left it out! LOL 🤪 it's not in the liquid but added to jar.
Can you do the same with Zucchini
Yes
Do you have to use the sugar?
Haven't tried it without it so I don't know.
How long is it good for? I though there was no real way to can squash due to low acid
Ours never last a year because we love squash so I don't know how long.
Can you steam can these instead of water bath?
I don't have experience in steam canning.
What kind of oil is in the pan?
Vegetable oil.
Do you just put water in the water bath ?
And about 1/4 cup of vinegar to help with your jars not turning cloudy. Not required but I use vinegar in pan whether water bath or pressure canning.
Half a cup of vinegar will keep the water from getting cloudy and make an aroma people will remember for ever. I remember my mom canning . I’m 63 and still brings me back home.
Thank you for the video. I’m wondering if the brine water-bath idea would also work for other vegetables for instance carrots? And when you want to eat them you drain rince and wash in salted water? Thank you
I don't know. Good question. I've only pressure canned carrots so far.
I've seen it with green tomatoes for frying but it used salt instead of sugar. Just a tbsp or two not half a cup of salt 😂
Have you canned Okra this way?
Yes but a little different. I'll make a video when our okra comes in.
I did not hear what the liquid head space to use.
1 inch. I'm always glad to answer questions. Thanks for watching!
Don't tip your jars out of the canner and don't play with the lids or rings as it cools down. Jars can explode when they are still boiling inside the jar. So be careful.
Good advice!
Good way to use your paper towels!
Yes! It helps!
Yes! It helps!
Is sugar absolutely necessary? I don’t use sugar for health reasons.
I haven't tried without sugar. If I tried I'd increase the vinegar.
Can I adopt her as my granny?
@@heatherm4621 You sure can!
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan ❤You're awesome!
Mrs Joan I have a question, I watched your video on the brim for squash
Can I use that brim for carrots and if so how long would you rapid boil them
Thanks for your help love your videos oh ,and I'm a newbie.
At the present time I have only pressure canned carrots. The video you're watching is water bath canning. I hope to do a video on pressure canning carrots sometime.
Brine 😮
Can I fry without flour.?
I haven't tried without flour but don't see why not.
Wish you'd send me recipe
The brine recipe is in the "more" section.
I have always read in canning books it's not safe to water bath squash! Not enough acid!
I added acid with the vinegar.
Can you use this recipe for pressure cooking them
This is the only way I've ever canned them. Seems pressure might make them mushy, but I don't know.
why do you use salt with no iodine in it?
Because it can cause clouding or discoloration inside the jars.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan thank you!!
I like fried pickles so the vinaigrette flavor won’t bother me. Lol
Me too!
How do they taste. You didn't taste
Sorry, they are awesome.
