I took the last container of stuffed cabbage rolls out of the freezer and some summer squash. I put a few freezer meals together when I harvested the last green cabbage. Later that summer I had a lot of summer squash and zucchini that I fried too. I made a lot of it to put away for meals during the winter months.
This week I cooked the last cabbage rolls and one of the squash packages. The stuffed cabbage froze beautifully, but the summer squash was a bit on the soggy side. Next year I am not going to freeze the summer squash but only use it fresh. On the other hand, zucchini when fried and frozen, thaws very well and stays firmer when re-heated.
Have you preserved certain veggies from your garden and found them disappointing when you used them? So far, this is the only frozen item I have not enjoyed. I also used a jar of pickled red cabbage that I found to be too vinegary. I will have to find a new recipe to make some next season.
I thought I would share my disappointment on how I preserved the squash. Perhaps someone has a better way to do so. I would appreciate any input to be a better prepper.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
