With its spongy texture, summer squash will soak up the spicy flavors in this mix. Experiment with other spices if you wish. I like to use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini. Add the pickled squash to salads, use it as a relish or as a condiment with grains, meat or fish.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine cider vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt and garlic cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, divide spices and optional dill sprigs between 2 pint jars or use 1 quart jar. Pack sliced zucchini into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space below the rim of the jar.
- Use hot, sterilized jars. If using pint jars, divide garlic that is in the vinegar mixture between the 2 jars. Pour in the hot vinegar mixture, leaving 1/2 inch below the rim of the jar. Push the squash down into the liquid to cover completely. Seal the jars and leave to cool, then refrigerate for up to 2 months. For best results, don't open for 2 days.
