Freezing Squash and Zucchini

July 3, 2022

Let’s take a page from our grandmother’s by freezing fresh squash and zucchini to when they are not in season.

Freezing squash and zucchini is a quick and easy way to stock your freezer for the fall and winter by a process called, blanching.

Instructions:

  1. Cut squash into circles or half-moons, roughly the same size.
  2. Bring a stockpot to boil with unsalted water. Add squash and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and drain squash in a colander. Run cool water over the squash to stop the cooking process.
  4. Put squash in freezer bags and store.
