What do i do with this?

[Bidin~Time]

I have nearly a bushel of yellow summer squash and zucchini sitting here. I have fed my family various recipes of both, almost daily, for 2 weeks now.

My attempts at giving it away have been met with only limited success, so I need ideas for recipes. Or the name of a reputable pig farmer whose swine likes squashes.

Zucchini bread! I've also used grated squash, zucchini, and sweet potato with much success as taco "meat". Ratatouille or if you want to hide the squash/zuchinni grate them and use for homemade tomato sauce.

You could give some to friends.

how big is your freezer? partially cooked it freezes well.

and thank you too.

All good ideas. Especially since my friends, even at work have been of little help.

I canned 8 quarts of it yesterday, with reservations. The skin hardens if you freeze it raw, and they have just enough natural water content, that canning is a pain to pack the jars tight enough so as not to have 1/3 of the jar end up as water. These ideas will be most helpful.

large and mostly empty. how long do you cook it to freeze?

Well. With a large prophylactic and plenty of lube?....

Sorry SOMEONE had to say it.

I would experiment with a small batch, freeze, then thaw and cook.

I am guessing blanch in rapidly boiling water about two minutes for 3/8 inch slices.

bombs.

just bombs.

only just cooked. or fully cooked. anything but raw.

just chop it, cook it, then freeze it into small-enough-for-one-recipe size bags.

Zucchini bread or squash bread freezes well. I know my friend only parboils zucchini before freezing. I've never tried doing it. I know adding a little lemon juice when freezing veggies helps keep their color and taste.

 

[parodyluvr75]

Oh yeah when freezing bread you want to wrap it tight in plastic wrap and then seal in a freezer bag. I usually double bag.

well, fuck you too. squash bombs is a brilliant idea. don't be bitter just because you're dumb ass didn't think of it.

You may not have a zoo out there in god's country, but if you did you could donate it to them. The critters love that stuff. Here in the Capital of the Free World, the elephants get all the left over pumpkins in the Fall.

I'm trying not to be bitter, I really am, but, you see, I'm usually the first to come up with such ideas, and, well, I was just trying to get past my disappointment in myself before posting to you, as i didn't want to sound curt. Thank you for bringing me an outstanding idea!

Donate them to a local homeless shelter, nursing home or day care center.

You can use it for meat, veggie or fruit. Sugar and salt also are good for preservation.

These are just beautiful. Well, except for the skeleton, but it made me laugh.

I planted the squash and zucchini in a different spot this year and they have been way happier there than in the previous spot. Almost too happy.

I want to carve zucchini art now, except I have too little artistic ability.

You need pumpkins or ornamental gourds?


'Cause they are taking over the garden.
