Hi All,

I may be getting way ahead of myself -- black thumb and
all -- but if I happen to actually grow more zukes that
my wife and I can eat, can I chop them up, toss them in
a zip lock bag, and freeze them for the winter (when I
am relegated to frozen vegi's anyway)?

Many thanks,

Talk about run on sentences!



Eat the small ones. Shred the giant ones and freeze them for baking
with in winter,


Confused. Freeze them in water or thaw them and cook them in water



Shred the big overgrown zukes and freeze them in freezer bags w/o any
water. Thaw and use it zucchini bread, or however else you want to cook
it.

I've been cooking cubed zucchini slowly with a little oil, butter, and
dehydrated onion until all the excess water is boiled off (it takes a
long time because it just keeps giving off more and more water as it
cooks) The resulting mush is greatly reduced in volume, tastes good,
and it *might* actually freeze okay -- I haven't tried freezing it.
