I got a bunch of zucchini and yellow squash given to me....any ideas on what to can with it? It's a bit large to just slice and cook up. I still may do that with a few...but I have too much.

Here is what I do with excess squash: 1-great casserole: 2-squash bread: 3-love to stuff the larger ones. It is just like making stuffed peppers. I cut the squash in 1/2; remove most of the inner part and mix hamburger or sausage, bread crumbs, onions and spices together. I use an egg to bind everything. Then fill the center with the mixture. You can use a tomato sauce if you want or just bake in a shallow dish with no sauce. We have been doing this for ages..4-squash relish, either hot and spicy or just plain relish. You can find recipes on line if you don't have a canning cook book.

I haven't canned zucchini - I always shred it, stuff it in baggies, and freeze it

I just made zucchini lasagna. I used my regular lasagna recipe but substituted 1/4" zucchini slices for the noodles. I did a quick steam on the slices and drained them before adding to the pan. Mine was also large so I cut the slices off the edges and got rid of the soft seeded middle.
Made the brine.
Cut the cukes.
Put the cukes and stuff in jar.
Added Brine into jar.
Never put it in the boiling bath. I only had 1 jar.
I wonder how long it can sit in the fridge for.
Refrigerator pickles are usually good for a couple-three months. If they last that long! I am about to make a new batch of bread & butter pickles, and another batch of fermented garlic dills.

You can make zucchini pickles or relish. You can cut up and freeze the squash to use later. You can make zucchini cobbler (tastes just like apple). Um, let's see - how about canning it in tomato sauce? Del Monte's been doing that for decades.

freezing squash whether cooked or raw does make for a pretty saggy veggie. for some this might work, for us, nope. Squash is one thing that does not freeze well. I recommend either relish or using it in a bread. When I was a kid, mom used to cook squash with tomatoes and bread: Oh God, how I hated that.

Thanks... I actually gave it a bath yesterday.. I guess that's what I was asking... how long can it sit in the fridge for before I give them a bath. Didn't know if it ruins the process if they sit for a day in the Brine without getting sealed.
Anyway ... it's done now.
I also made 2 jars of Tomato Sauce with Cuor Di Bue and Roma Mix. You can see the picture of the yield here.
I boiled the Pickles first for 15 minutes (1 Jar) then put the Tomato Jars in for 50 minutes.
