Can you freeze summer squash?

Wash and cut into 1/2″ slices and boil for 3 minutes, timing from when vegetables enter the water.

Plunge into an ice bath, drain, and freeze in a heavy-duty plastic freezer bag or food saver bags. It is perfect for soups and stews.  I even like to grill or steam it.

Be sure to give this a try. It is perfect for slow cooker methods of cooking.
