Freezing Squash

 I have had a ton of people asking me about putting vegetables up for winter. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, I've found that the best way is to blanch and freeze. This is how I do squash and zucchini.
 
 
 
 
Start our by washing your squash or zucchini
 
 
Slice into desired size
 
 
 
 
add to a pot of boiling water and cook until barely soft
 
 
 
Shock them and stop the cooking time by placing in a large bowl of ice water
 
 
 
Drain
 
 
 
Place in freezer bags and freeze
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 These bags will last for 6-8 months in the freezer
