Freezing squash.

[nuisance]

I've already got a bunch of slices frozen. I'm about to shred a bunch and put in the freezer. How much do you freeze in each bag/container? I was thinking of freezing in one cup batches. What do you think?

Re: Freezing squash.

How much do you use in any given recipe? Do you have recipes using grated squash? I would think 1-2cup size

Don't know! lol. I've made zucchini bread, but it's been awhile and I don't know how much. I thought I have it, no need for it to go to waste. I can make muffins, add to meatloaf or veggies when I cook them.

Not that this is quite what u are looking for, b ut I always cook up my squash like I am going to serve it and this usually invloves pureeing it or using a masher/mixer and then scoop it into freezer bags and voila. Just throw into mico when ready. Or thaw ahead of time and then micro. I put everything in.....the butter and brown sugar...if that's your fancy.

Well I've found that you have to let the shredded zucchini drain a bit before you can use your food saver! Ruined 3 bags before I figured that out. I'm not so fast sometimes you know! lol.

Sorry, totally didn't catch the part about you wanting info about shredding it for recipes...duh! I would probably squeeze out some of the water too, but either way you are safe. Like when you buy frozen spinach u have to thaw it and then drain so either way.

Re: Freezing squash.

Yes Jana. Havent you ever seen them in the frozen section of the grocery store?

Nu, I've never frozen shredded squash before. Seems to me that they would be mushy when thawed?

No Cottun... I have never seen frozen squash here in Northern CA, unlike other frozen veggies.. Hey other CA people, have you?
