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.

Mrs. Joan, I just found you today! How have I missed you all of this time? It's like being in your kitchen with you. Thank you for your videos--I love them!
Awe...thanks! You can cook with me anytime!
Just found you too! Haven't started to can yet, but trying to learn. I have canners, jars and trying to learn before I jump in. Thank you for making it understandable. God Bless!
@@vickisodek What a nice thing to say. Thank you. There is a video I made recently called Pressure Canning for Beginners. It might be of help.
I wish I had found ya'll along time ago. You remind me so much of my aunt.,the way you talk and cook. She is one special lady. I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.
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
@@nancycurtis488 I missed your comment. When I see the date it was when my brother passed. Thank you for your sweet words.
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!
Bloopers had me laughing. Thank you for sharing!
I'm a goof up every day!
That is fantastic. I have always wanted to know how to do that. 😊😊😊
Good luck. We enjoy our squash.
First time viewer and love your video! I use my paper towel holder to hold my rings as well.
Thanks for tuning in! Those rings will get away from you if not contained. 😄
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan Yes they do! I have a bunch on a metal coat hanger too and THEY got away from me once....all over the floor! 😆
@@DJ-1999. I understand! 🙃
New subscriber. Thank you, Joan, for the squash canning video & frying them up so yummy looking. I could just taste them! You mentioned names for the jar lids. Thought you would be interested in knowing I have heard them referred to as flip-its. Ha!
Oh I love this! Flip-its!!!
just found your site i can smell that cookin!!!
🥰
I’m going to try canning some.
Enjoy the process. I believe you'll like it!
I just discovered your channel today. I really enjoy learning from you!
Thank you. I appreciate your kind comment.
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!
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.
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.
I like the blooper part that’s cute good job my 1st time watching
Thanks for watching!
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
😂 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! Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤
@@jackieanderson6599 You're welcome!
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.
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.
First timer to your videos and loving them. Thank you!

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!
Just subscribed after finding your channel! Love your recipe for canning and then frying your squash! You are so much fun to watch! Thank you!
I'm a mess for sure! Lol
Ditto!

I canned my squash for frying like you did and they are delicious. Thank you so much for your videos.
@@patriciahadder2284 I'm so happy you like them!
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!
the bloopers made me laugh - you should just keep those in lol
very adorable
If we kept the bloopers there would certainly be lots of them! Lol
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 .

That's how we're doing all our squash this year. Saves on freezer space and just as good!
I've done this and its great.
im gonna do this with zucchini as well.
We love it at our house!
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!
I wish we had smellevision! I bet those fried squash smell so good too!
@@tarinflyte3326 They did!
Thank you, good recipe. I believe could do this with oka, can whole.
Let me know how yours turns out.
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’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
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!
Well I just discovered this channel as well. Looks like you got a whole bunch of folks tuning in on one day.
I know you have probably been asked about water bath canning concerning the safety of it. I know that's how the older generation did it for years. Have you tried the pressure canner or would it be too mushy. Enjoy the video.
@@mikelwalters6505 Look up Old Alabama Gardner on TH-cam. He's now passed away but he did a lot of primitive canning.
@@mikelwalters6505 I believe the pressure canner would make it too mushy for frying later.
I’m so happy I came across your channel! You are my ABSOLUTE NEW FAVORITE ❤️ I simply ADORE YOU!
Thank you!
That's the way I like to can mine. Looks good.
Thank you!
Thank you so much
Hope you enjoy this way.
Love the video. You can like me. What ever you got. You think I could use clean towels to get excess water off? Thank you. I like to take squash and fry it up with potatoes green pepper, onion, and smoke sausage. No breading. Yum
That sounds delicious! Absolutely on using a clean towel!
Thank you , Joan
You are welcome.
Yummy,Yummy for our tummy's.Great job Ma'am.Thank you for sharing your receipt.
You are welcome!
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 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 just found you today and subscribed. My name is also Joan.
Hello my new friend, Joan!
Yes Jo loved it
Great!
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.
That looks so delicious. You make canning and cooking fun. Thank you!
I do enjoy it! Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you! Trying this today!
You are welcome.
That looks delicious
Thanks
Looks delicious
@@LindaLangdon-nh2vm Thank you!
Thank you for this informative video.
So good to know one can waterbath squash. None of the canning books says so. Can one also pressure can them using the same recioe? Im a beginner first time canner and a little nervabout waterbathing. I guess the vinegar increases the acidity. But why do they not recommend it?
Thank you for your video its very informative and You are Fun.❤
I know the canning books say not to. You can pressure can squash for stewed squash, use in casseroles...anything that you want very soft squash for. This method is for frying them. This recipe goes back before Pressure Canning. I believe the vinegar helps and sugar helps preserve them. Look up Amish canning, they pressure can everything.
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!
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.
Thank you for the tutorial🎉
@@tarinflyte3326 It is a blessing to do these videos.
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!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
I just found you! You are appreciated and I so enjoy your videos. I am new to canning (even though I am 72) How long will the filled jars be good for and how do you store them?

@@tsmall6211 And as long as your seal stays tight and food color is good they can last several years.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
Yum!
It's a keeper!
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.
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. 🤗
Looks ever so delicious!!!!
🥰
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 😮
You can use your PC as a steam canner.
@@jeanettegilder1616 Thanks! I always welcome input!
Can I adopt her as my granny?
@@heatherm4621 You sure can!
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan ❤You're awesome!
Do you have to use the sugar?
Haven't tried it without it so I don't know.
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 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.
Mrs. Joan, thank you for the video. Do you think it tastes better from canned or frozen? Mine will be producing soon!
@@matthewmaclellan_ Both are great. Since I started canning for frying they like canned over freezing. And we have food that's shelf stable, no electricity needed to keep them. Try a small batch both ways and let me know what you think!
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan I will! Thanks for replying.
@@matthewmaclellan_ I try my best to answer all questions.
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.
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...
I am so glad I found you, where in the world have you been all my life? Lol. 😂
I'm canning my golden squash (we love fried squash so it food gold to us) tomorrow thanks to you. I'm going to be busy watching your other videos now.
Thank you, thank you. 😊
New fan here for sure. ❤
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.
Best to use colander, then coffee filters if you needed. Only use foid grade paper towels to avoid CHEMICALS.
Thank you!
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.
Me to. I just found you
@@SusanGriffin-q2z Glad you did!
Joan have you canned just regular squash by water bath ?
Use this same recipe. But haven't done zucchini.
Do you need to add the sugar, is it part of the success or just a taste choice.
@@debrabradshawwoodwyant6052 I haven't tried without the sugar. I believe if you search on here some leave it out. I hope this helps you.
Omg I love you!
Thank you
what kind of oil do you use to fry those, will bacon grease work?
@@cherylanon5791 I use vegetable oil. But bacon grease would be good.
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.
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!
How long can I expect this to be good only using half cup of vinegar? I have a lot of squash.
@@debbiemuncy2272 We eat within 2 year so that's all I have experience with.
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.
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.
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
Do you start with warm pot before boiling since it’s hot brine?
@@jennifertyler8551 Good question. I went back and watched and I didn't address that. My jars are hot out of dishwasher. My canner water is very warm, not boiling, as not to shock the jars when they are placed in pan.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan thank you. I processed five quart jars of squash. For 15 mins. I used your recipe for brine. After they cooled down. I noticed some bubbles and the water receded alittle below the squash. I did use debubbler and they all sealed. Is the bubbles and brine being below squash okay? What should I look for?
Can you do the same with Zucchini
Yes
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 😂
Good way to use your paper towels!
Yes! It helps!
Yes! It helps!
Could you use pickle crisp?
Not familiar with doing that.
