How to Freeze Zucchini No Blanching ~ Noreen's Garden
Tips, Tricks
Greetings! The garden is in a state of change. Fall is on the way and summer is winding down. The tomato plants are starting to wither and the pepper plants are happy, happy, happy and producing a lot. So I imagine I will be picking peppers till Thanksgiving. The cucumbers never did anything but we have had a lot of tomatoes this year and thankfully so, I believe this year was the best year I have had for tomatoes in the eight years I have had this garden. I will be planting some fall squash here this weekend and will let you see what I do but for the most part things are holding their own, but the weeds have taken over and everything looks frightful due to the large amounts of late summer rain we have experienced. My neighbor grew a lot of summer zucchini and yellow squash so he was gracious enough to share. I love when I am the recipient of someone elses bounty. We tend to share things back and forth. I keep him in fresh bread and he brings me pears, zucchini and whatever he has an over abundance of. Symbiosis in action! So I thought I would take a moment today and show you how you can save the glut of zucchini coming from your own garden or your neighbor or the grocery store markdown rack in a way that does not require you to blanch them. This is an application that would be appropriate for zucchini cake, muffins, zucchini bread, zucchini fritters or pancakes. Simply grate the squash and measure into freezer bags. Label them date them and toss them in the deep freeze. This will be there whenever you want to make zucchini treats and it will keep in your freezer for up to a year. If you want to save the zucchini in slices then you will need to properly blanch them and I will show you how to do that in another video. I hope this was helpful and I hope you learned something you can use! Happy Planting! Check Out My Website: http://bit.ly/1qgxGqG Subscribe to Rick's Tips Channel for Home Improvement and DIY Tips!

Can you do the same with squash? I have a GIANT squash (80 pounds) and I thought it was a watermelon! When we cut it open it turned out to be a giant squash. I was in shock! Can I freeze it raw? I have to do something with it now as it have just cut it open.

Maybe it would be better if you left on the top, for something to hold onto while grating.

you have a new sub because your right to the point and simple. Thanks for your time.

I've tried freezing zucchini before without draining it first BIG MISTAKE comes out very mushy and gross once it thaws

thank you!!!!!!

I know it's been 2 years ago that this video was posted. But I thank you so much for taking time to make it. It made my mind up this morning to freeze my abundance of zucchini from our garden. I will be grating it (and not using my food processor) right away! I'm an older woman...and am shocked by the comments made by idiots who are just plain cruel. Apparently they haven't worked in a garden! My nails look like this most of the growing season! For God's sake...if you can't be kind...just leave! I was taught that if I didn't have anything nice to say, to not say anything at all. Who cares about your negative comments? Just go away. I guess they feel it's okay because no one reading these posts knows them personally. The anonymity of the internet allows this to happen. As I leave this YouTube posting, I hope you still have a website to check out. I plan to go there! Thanks again for helping me to get through all this zucchini without leaving it on neighbors' doorsteps! lol

Thank you for this info. You mentioned that you make bread and cake with zucchini. Do you have a recipe for both posted, I would love it!

The person handling the food should wash their hands and finger nails.

Your filthy fingernails make me not want to make anything from you.

Thank you so much because we are looking for ways to preserve some to feed to our ducks and chickens! They absolutely love that stuff and its hard to get their greens in the winter.

I laughed outloud when you said "Leaving it on someones porch and running away, so they do not see who left it" I have actually thought of doing that!!! I have cucumbers running out my ears!
