Be sure you do not mash or it will be too dense and it would put you at a risk for botulism.

CAUTION: DO NOT MASH OR PUREE. Fill hot jars with cubes and cooking liquid, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process.

For making pies, drain jars and strain or sieve cubes.

RECOMMENDED PROCESS TIMES FOR SQUASH IN A DIAL-GAUGE PRESSURE CANNER use 11 lb pressure, 10 lb. dial gauge.
