Yellow and Zuchini squash can be picked when tender; wash, slice crossways, and blanch 1 min in boiling water, then place in ice water a few min to cool. Drain and place in freezer bags or containers. I have also cooked them with onions and a few shredded carrots, let cool and placed into freezer bags. Don't allow the water content to be very much. This can then be made into a squash casserole by adding cream of chicken soup and layer with herbal stuffing mix. I have used the chuncks and the smaller pieces. Melt 1/2 stick of butter and pour over the stuffing mix. I prefer the smaller pieces.

RE: Freezing Summer Squash

Squash has a lot of water and turns to mush easily. I cook the squash with some onion and very little water. Then I puree it and freeze it for use in soups and stews, using 2 cup and quart containers. (08/05/2009)
