Even though I h...Rain, double bagging works great. Even though I had a bit on the sweet potatoes, it did not bother the taste nor texture. I flash freeze some of my vegetables like green peppers, and hot peppers. I put them on a baking tray in a single layer and freeze a bit, then bag them. Works great.

I love sweet potatoes, especially with butter :) But I'd probably fry them up to make them into a kind of latka if I didn't care about the fat content. I just got myself into a good position to start preserving food. Before it was basically paycheck to paycheck, but my bf and I squirreled away some money for a deep freezer that's now in the basement! The only thing in there is one whole chicken, you know, for the principle of it! But to be honest, once I take it out tomorrow, I'm turning it off to save on energy cost...but we wanted to put something in there! It'll come to use much more when prices drop a little in the spring and I can start stockpiling a little bit at a time. We also found a dehydrator at a local flea market and I'm getting a water bath canner with equipment for my bday next month. I'm excited about the process and about the savings! Now I have to educate myself on what's best to freeze, dehydrate and water-bath can. How can you protect your food from frost in the freezer? I mean, double bagging seems like it should be sufficient.Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-60333570172661008632016-01-20T10:11:06.021-08:002016-01-20T10:11:06.021-08:00Susan, I am not sure on squash.

Yes, someone here suggested baking it before it thaws.

I really love sweet potatoes, although my own crop is notoriously small. I would like to try this with whipped squash, too. Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.com
