Boiled yellow squash can be made with fresh from the garden squash, or frozen squash. It can be simple with butter, or mixed with a combination of ham, bacon bits, and zucchini. In general, yellow squash does not need to have the skin peeled off in order to slice, or dice, and boil it. Be careful not to add too much water as boiled yellow squash will fall apart. Once frozen, the ice cubes add even more water to the pan. Boiled together with zucchini, there is a satisfying mix of flavors and textures. Wash well before slicing and cooking.
