This summer, we have really enjoyed fresh yellow squash, especially the locally grown. I like it most any way it is prepared. This recipe is my husband's favorite way for me to fry squash. I guess it's because it's a little sweet.

I fry it in the cast iron frying pan that was given to us as a wedding gift 56 years ago.

Total Time: 30-45 minutes

Yield: 3-4 servings

Ingredients:

• 3-4 medium yellow squash
• 1 sweet onion
• salt & pepper
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 3/4 tsp bacon grease
• Butter Pam cooking spray

 

Steps:

1. Slice squash into chunks. Cut onion into small pieces. Place into medium size mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper and stir together.

 
2. Spray cast iron frying pan with Pam. Place bacon grease in pan (just enough to coat the bottom of the pan). Pour off any excess. Heat pan on high.
3. Pour squash mixture into hot frying pan. It should sizzle. Stir for a few seconds then reduce heat to medium.

4. Cover and cook approximately 10 minutes stirring once or twice in between.

 

 
5. Reduce heat to low medium. Remove lid and stir in sugar, put lid back on and continue to cook covered, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and squash is tender.

 
6. Remove lid. Continue to cook uncovered and stir frequently until juice is blended and squash begins to stick.

7. This produces a gummy substance that mixes in with the squash and makes it brown. Its the sweet gummy stuff that makes it lip-smacking good.

Wash squash and cut in small pieces. Cut corn from the cob. Skin tomato (the skin comes off easily if they are first dipped in boiling water for 1 minute), and cut into cubes.
