Here’s how to freeze all of that excess summer squash and zucchini.

Summer Squash & Zucchini

Wash the squash.  Slice.  I slice mine between 1/4 and 1/2 inch.

Blanch the squash for 3 minutes.  To blanch, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.  Pour the squash into the water and boil for 3 minutes.  Remove from boiling water and cool immediately by submerging in ice water.

Blanch

Drain and freeze.

How do you process zucchini that will be used in baking goods? I like to make zucchini brownies with shredded zucchini.
