Thank you so much for creating a video that provides the essential science based tips to preserving as much of its characteristics when Fresh. There are all this videos that tout "3+ ways to......." I don't need advice on how to chop slice dice n bag I need to know the best way to Preserve! And you have provided that in the perfect combination of explanation and demonstration. Thanks!
I once had way too many to even freeze them all. I decided to pickle them just like cucumbers, but added some sliced garlic to the jar. Absolutely amazing, tastes nothing like pickles. Very nice
Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing! This is our first year growing zukes! So we are super excited to load up our preps & stores for our future meals! Gratitude, and keep on rocking it!
Thank you for this information. We love zucchini, cook it all kinds of ways fried, chopped and added to spaghetti and lasagna sauce, shredded with eggs for breakfast quiche. I munch it raw even. Problem is you have an abundance of it in the summer when it's the best but I didn't know how to keep it for later. Canning it softens it. I will definitely try this method. I agree with freezing twice. That sounds right. Thank you!
Great video Eric will have to try this and buy myself a vacuum sealer. I didn't grow zucchini this year but grew spaghetti squash which has grown like crazy and taken over my garden.
Thank you Lynda. The sealer I purchased works great. I have sealed a ton of bags so far without any issues. I put the link to it in the description. Have fun preserving all that squash.
I can not find any information about vacuum sealing fresh uncooked vegitables and freeze I think? Or not. We love raw zucchini squash etc. Any advice? I want it to be as tasty and crunchy ! Thank you
Nice.. I am at that point in the season where I just can not eat that many zucchini, however 2 months from now, will have zero.. this looks like a good solution.
You are obviously very educated. I wanted to thank you for writing "you're" welcome as opposed to so many times I've seen others write "your" welcome. Thanks again.@@CountryLivingExperience
Thank you for this video but could you do a video on unsealing and meal prepping with it so we can see the quality of the vegetables? I am so curious! Thank you!
Question: I have a small freezer which is already full with meat, etc. Do I have to freeze as in the first step? I don't have space for a cookie sheet. Can I let the zuke slices dry and then seal the bag?
Will the zucchini be spongy? Will I be able to saute it on stovetop with seasoning and it still taste good and done? I just don't want it to be mushy or spongy. Please help.
Agreed but the process of blanching is only if your going to keep them longer then maybe 6 months and then it might change the flavor a tiny but but just so people know it not a safety thing its just a flavor thing if you are going to keep them past 6 months.
