What Do Do With All That Zucchini?

ZUCCHINI!!!

Well, it's mid summer, the zucchini is coming in strong, you've strained relations with friend by trying to pawn them off....you have actually harvested them before they are the size of your arm....its not really baking season and you definitely don't want the heat in the house...what to do?





So what we do to get the most out of this crop, especially since it seems to come all at once in mid summer, is to prep these for use later.

Grating Zucchini

We start by grating these as in the picture above.  The recipe we are following is the old stand by, Zucchini Bread out of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.

After grating we pre-measure these to the quantity needed for the recipe.  We use these little containers to size them exactly as needed for the recipe, then we put them in the freezer.

Zucchini prep for bread using custom cutting board that drops into sink pan. 

After they are frozen we pop them out and put a bunch of them in a freezer bag.  This way when we are ready to bake we just take one out of the bag and let it thaw as we prep the recipe mix.

Of course it's hard to resist at least getting a couple loafs out of this when you harvest the zucchini.

Love the taste of the crust on this recipe!
