Pickled Squash and Pickled Onions

squashSo when I Pickle I tend to do multiple things.  I had a squash and zucchini that need to be cooked So I made Pickeled squash.  Zucchini and Yellow squash are so avaible this time of year so having a new way to serve them is fun. Pickling them in a sweet and salty juice makes for a  savory side dish to bring to a picnic or have at home.  The trick is not to over cook them. I also made Pickled onions, because if you made the juice use it  the onions are great to top and add to burger.
