  1. 1 Combine squash, onions, and bell pepper in a large aluminum-free pot; cover with salt. Set aside to release liquid, stirring occasionally, 2 hours.
  2. 2 Bring sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, turmeric, and celery seeds to a boil in a medium saucepan. Strain and discard solids from briny liquid; pour liquid over salted vegetables in the pot. Set aside for 2 hours more.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, inspect four (1-pint) jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until pickled squash is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  4. 4 Bring vegetable mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Pack vegetable mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; set aside, several inches apart, and cool. Once cool, press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
