If you have a garden chances are you have excess zucchini.
Did you know you could just slice it up, blanch it and freeze it??
Then in the dead of winter when the snows a fallin' pull it
out and enjoy some garden zucchini!
Fried in a tiny bit of olive oil... Yum!!!
Check this link for more details or just do a
simple search for freezing zucchini.
I read that unblanched zucchini will last 4-6 months
while blanched will last 10-12.
Of course don't forget to shred some for the
WONDERFUL Zucchini bread.

Be careful to blanch it only a LITTLE. If you do it too much, you will end up with a mushy product when you thaw it.
I LOVE zucchini! :)
Thanks for the info.
Yes I have an excess of zucchini!
Yea, thanks for the reminder, Sarah... Blanch for only about 3 minutes!!
you could also make zucchini relish!!! it is so yummy and a good way to get a lot of veggies in!! our recipe calls for carrots, red and yellow bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. there may be more that i forgot to mention but we love it! my zach eats the veggies by the spoonful as i make it. it is so much better than store bought and no additives!! it makes the best tartar sauce and salads(egg,tuna,chicken,etc.). just a thought!!!
Thanks Carrie! If you read this I'd love the recipe!! I never thought of that. We don't like normal relish but this sounds really good esp. how you said to use it!!
Thanks for the idea!!
I'm leaving to camp in a few minutes... See you all Monday!
