Too much Zucchini?

Bountiful harvest of.....Zucchini?  Tried to use it in several different dishes? Still have lots left over?

Get out your food processor (or a grater if you want to try the manual method).  For your food processor, cut into spears and begin grating.

The Food Processor makes quick work on everything!

Isn't it pretty?

I placed 2 cups worth in each quart-sized bag.  Then I labeled and dated each bag. Now they are ready for the Freezer!

Later this winter, when I want to bake something with Zucchini....it will be very easy!

It's a matter of ......Freezing foods to preserve your investment

In an earlier post, the LRH discussed "Flash Freezing". I use this for my berries and some fruits like bananas. After freezing, I then take them off the cookie sheet and place them into a freezer-safe bag. I can get as few or as many as I need from the bag when I want to use them.

I recently came across this video which not only briefly shows "Flash Freezing", but also discusses how to safely freeze food in general. It is done in an entertaining fashion...and I learned a lot.

What I learned that was surprising to me is that food that has Freezer burn is still safe to eat. Whether you would want to put it into a stew, or use it in some other way, it reportedly is safe. Enjoy the show....and learn a lot!
