RE: Freezing Butternut Squash

Someone told me that you can just cut them open, take out the seeds and freeze. Has anyone tried this?

I do the same as above and also for Zucchini. I peel, then shred it. I freeze 2 cups in zip lock bags, and use for zucchini bread. Very good.

I peel the squash, boil it, mash it and let it cool down.
Then I take all the extra ice cube trays I have (only use for squash) and fill each section with the squash mixture. I then freeze it for 24 hours.
I pop out the cubes and put them into Ziploc freezer bags and pop back into the freezer. I can then take out only what I need to defrost for my meals. I can add brown sugar, maple syrup or any other spices that I wish when reheating the squash.

I bake it or boil it until it scoops out easily, cool until easy to handle. Blend until smooth. Place into Zip Loc freezer bags and freeze. When I want to use I thaw it and either warm it on the stove top or bake, adding my favorite topping.
