Just like all Georgia fruits and vegetables, winter squash is freshest when stored properly. A cool, dark, and dry cabinet or pantry is the perfect home for winter squash of all types. Did we mention it can be frozen for later use as well?
- Peel
- Cut into cubes and remove seeds
- Pack into containers or freezer bags, it will keep for up to 1 year
You can also freeze mashed squash depending on how you plan to use it in the future.
Cook covered in water until soft; mash and pack into containers leaving about 2 inches of space at the top.
