- If you want to enjoy summer squash all year long, try flash freezing it this way. Freezing squash is easy and you'll be so glad you put it up this way. I have another video on cooking your frozen squash to make fried squash.

I’m not gonna lie I only saw your video cause it was the shortest. 😂 Thanks for sharing got some do real quick before they go bad & gotta be at work in a hour ♥️
Me too! 😂 ❤
Me too! Once I heard your darling accent I was sure you know what you're talking about! ❤❤
Lol at y'all...
(In a southern-drawl) 😝
I appreciate the shorter video you got straight to the point. I learned everything I needed to know. Thank you.
I try to keep them to the point!
Thank you Mrs Joan! I’ve been so stressed about how to store all the veggies I’m growing. I only have a small garden and I’m learning. I appreciate your help
You're welcome!
As someone from the south, your accent makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a family member ❤️
I just returned from Alaska and everyone pointed out my southern drawl! Lol
I got a garden going this year and I've never seen so many squash in my life. My dad is a legit farmer so he gave me pointers on how to grow but now I'm covered in squash. I want to sell eventually but I haven't gotten set up for that yet. So in the meantime I'm gonna freeze it and make use of it. Maybe give some to the neighbors too, lol.
You are blessed with a wonderful bounty!
Donate to local churches who have food programs for the lower income and families with children...I'm sure they would appreciate the fresh veggies...I'm going to plant 3 rows of vegetables that put out continuously for our local community churches...
Oh thank u. I’ve got squash I need to put up but my granny always blanched them THEN flash freeze them. I’m happy to know I can skip that step. It’s such a pain
We didn’t have a good squash planting last year. We had those ole squash borers. This year I had my hubby plow up a new spot in what we call the “north 40” lol. It’s further away from the house and I had to Jerry rig me a hose to go that far but my squash sure does look nice this year :)
We love squash at my house!
You girls what about a self-sufficient single dads out here LOL thanks great video
You are right!

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to learn, and yes I like the shorter videos when I am in a hurry!
You're welcome!
Love your videos ❤❤❤❤
Awe thanks!
Love your video! I'm learning how to do canning.
If I can do it anyone can!
Good job!
Thanks!
Just found your video, a life saver, I knew I could freeze the squash, just needed the right way to do it. Thank you so much.😅😊
You're welcome. I've done it this way for many years.
Thank you so much for sharing your squash freezing method! I will be trying this!
I was going to write you as I remembered a while back you asked me how I did it!
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan I sure appreciate it! My dad (he was also a pastor) was raised in Huntsville, and my mother in GA, so what you share reminds me so much of how we do things. I had always put the squash in the bag and frozen together, so this video, and the way you prepare your frozen squash have been so helpful!
Going to try your method, in fact I have some squash flash freezing right now! Thanks for your helpful video!
You're welcome! I love all things about food preservation.
You’ve helped me so much! I’ve planted my first garden this year, and I can’t wait to be like you!
What a nice thing to say! I'm so thankful my videos helped you.
THANKS‼️

Thank you! I love making new friends on here.
I didn't think to layer them on wax paper. Thanks
Works very well!
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan cutting mine up now. I was blessed with about 30lbs. Going to dehydrate some also.
Thank you Miss Joan and thank you, Preacher. ❤ The only time I ever froze squash I blanched it before freezing. It was not a very desirable outcome. I have used flash freezing on other things and it worked well.
Won't be long until summer gardens are ready! I can't wait!
Does it taste good steamed after you've frozen it? Or sauteed? Does it change the texture?
No it seems the same to me.
Hello Joan
Hello!
I clicked on yours because it in part because it was the shortest. But now that I've watched it, I'm interested in the rest of your channel. So thanks for the fast lesson, we have a ton of squash. Would you know how to freeze or preserve tomatoes?
Thank you. I can my tomatoes just haven't been able to make a video yet. You can also freeze them. Some folks just core them and put in a freezer bag without any cooking. Easy! Up to you if you peel them first, or put in hot boiling water for a couple minutes, move to pan of ice water and peeling comes off real easy! Then cool and freeze.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan Thank you. I think I will try freezing them 🙂
I know what I will be doing tomorrow!!! Married to a preacher too. Do you have a recipe for using the frozen squash in a squash casserole? Thank you much. God Bless.
I just saw this. We gotta put squash casserole on the list!
Sure helped me , we been letting squash ruin cause we didn’t know
Hope it helps! Also watch my How to Cook Frozen Squash video. Let me know when you cook some!
Just found you. Some people are fly-bys, the rest of us watch to learn no matter how long the video is. This is my 1st time freezing ANYTHING & I'm missing my Grandma more than I can say. I noticed you're not blanching. I have some from last farmer's market trip that didn't get put up right away bcz we caught (another) case of Covid. I'm going to blanche those (paranoia) & freeze them. They weren't slimey at all bcz they were larger & a little on the dry side. I trashed the zucchini bcz it was slick during slicing, not before. That's probably just the way zucc is but I'm not sure so yeah ... Paranoia dump. Got some fresh yellow squash yesterday & I would love to not blanche & flash freeze in thin discs for frying or oven roasting. Your feedback would be appreciated! Especially if you think I should toss the 2 week old squash. TFS!!!
Zucchini shouldn't be slimmy so I'd toss it. I'd wash good with a little soapy water the non-slimmy squash, slice, and do the flash freezing. If you've kept it good and cold the two weeks and it still looks fresh, freeze it! It'll be great! I have a separate video on cooking squash after it's frozen. I miss my mom and grandma so much too.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan Thanks so much! I know it sounds odd, but I bought peas & beans just so I could shell them & think about all the summers spent shelling & shucking on my Grandma's porch. Sweet memories for me & she'd be so proud that I did her part of the job by "putting them up" too.
I remember shucking corn and shelling peas and snapping green beans. Didn't realize how much I'd miss doing that with my mom and grandma. Your grandma and mine would be so proud we are carrying on their training!
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan 😁
Mrs. Joan do you pressure can cooked summer squash? Thanks
ua-cam.com/video/dxrm_eUANoU/v-deo.htmlsi=pUQ9Et4nDx5cfTPz
I posted my link to my canned squash. Hope you enjoy!
My husband is adamant that I blanch them first so he’s gonna throw a fit 😅😅😅
Never have.
Hello. Thank you for the video. I just found you on UA-cam. Quick question, after freezing, are you only able to fry the frozen squash or can you bake it or steam it? Or does freezing only allow you to fry it?
You can do all that plus boil and make squash casserole.
Can you do Zucchini the same way?
@@gabrielstanley3404 yes
Do you use the same process Zucchini
Yes
Is it normal to have a little ice on them after they are in the bag for a min?
Sure
Okay thank you
How long will they last?
We've eaten them 2 years later. Will have more ice crystals but it washes off in the process. It goes so fast at our house usually 1 year and they need replenishing.
@@AtHomewithMrsJoan THX!!
You dont have to blanch the squash before you freeze it?
No never.
Don't you blanch it before freezing?
No just wash it off and cut in slices.
Seems like you'd spend more on wax paper than the squash is worth
Everything we buy now gets more expensive. You might be right. I need to research more items that might replace the wax paper. Any ideas UA-cam friends?
Lost me on squeezing water out
Trust me it works. You are squeezing out the water you rinsed them with and the liquid from any ice crystals that formed while frozen. Crazy, but it works!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome!
