You can flash freeze the segments by laying them individually on a cookie sheet,

freezing them. THEN transferring them to a bag or jar for storage. By freezing

individually, they won't all clump into a mass and you can take out just as many

segments as you want. You could also just juice the grapefruit, and freeze the

juice into cubes in an ice cube tray, then transfer the frozen cubes to a bag.

You could also just put the sections in freezer bags and be careful to freeze them flat in a single layer. Even is some of them clump when frozen like this, a single layer breaks apart easily.

Is there any reason not to whir the grapefruit up in the VM and then freeze that in ice trays (as opposed to juicing then freezing)? Just wondering, as I also have a lot of grapefruit that needs to be eaten soon or else, and I dont have a juicer, and I can't stand the thought of "or else". lolFrannySent from my iPhoneOn Mar 1, 2011, at 5:12 PM, "" <berrywell@...> wrote:

When I said to juice, I meant either in the VM or with a citrus juicer-either way will work fine.

A reason for me would be "too much work."

Doesn't matter to me WHAT yellow squash is called-it is my FAVORITE staple food, and favorite thing to grow. You can literally watch them grow an inch in a day! Yum... I planted my spring veggies today, but CANNOT wait for time for yellow squash!

what I refer to as flash freezing just means to freeze each piece individually on a cookie sheet so it doesn't clump together. It can also mean to freeze rapidly, such as in a deep freeze. >> >>> You can flash freeze the segments by

I grow 13 different kinds of squash. I am always intrigued at how different they taste from each other. I am playing with a new one this year-yugoslavian finger fruit! It is a white squash with long, finger looking appendages-fascinating. I will post pics of my assortment when they are ready to harvest. Last year, my scallop squash were the size of dinner plates-fabulous! I have a pic of my daughter holding one up to her face, and it completely covers her face and head, lol. I got more off of two vines than I could use for a lifetime!

Isn't there a yellow squash that is similar to the zucchini that is summer squash?

These both are soft. Best when smaller in my opinion, but zucchini can get as big as

A torpedo and feed the whole county. Lol

And winter squash is the harder squash like acorn, hubbard, etc

that you grow? Are the seeds organic?

Thank you for checking that out, glad to hear I actually did something right, completely by accident of course. Well, I started freezing them with the skins on long ago when they started to become overripe to use later in banana bread / muffins but only recently realized that they work great in the smoothies like that too. I just peel them with a knife frozen. A bit harder to peel frozen than not frozen but not that hard and so convenient to just throw them in the freezer just like they are.

I wonder why they said that? Just curious.

A lot of the videos show frozen bananas in a freezer bag without the skins. One thing this vitamix thrills me is I will be able to utilize ripe fruit better, just put it in the freezer. We have wasted too much food, especially in the summer when there is so much available. Yeah!

You're so right K! One of the things I love most (and that I did not

anticipate when I bought a VM) is that I can open my fridge, see what's on the

ragged edge of too old, put it in the VM and make pasta sauce or smoothie or

quiche or SOMETHING! And if nothing else, I can make a compost soup....There's

almost no waste in my kitchen anymore...

I freeze my bananas in the skins and then run them under hot water for about 30

seconds and then run my hands around the banana in a wringing motion (like

wringing out wet laundry) and the peel comes right off.

Then, your next problem becomes that you need to buy a second refrigerator

and/or freezer, LOL! I had a second frig in our garage in NJ and I really miss

it--I buy so much produce there's no room in the fridge for anything else!

Every night when I clean up the kitchen I have a wrestling match with my

refrigerator to get everything back inside!

Got to 'fess up and clarify my post re. freezing bananas in the skin. The book is called: Tips Cooks Love, by Rick Rodgers, copyright 2009 Sur la Table, Inc. The actual quote about the bananas is: "Many baked goods call for well-ripened bananas. But you don't want the skins to be black or the fruit will taste fermented. Instead, you want the skins freckled with lots of brown spots. If the bananas are perfectly freckled and you aren't ready to bake, wrap them unpeeled and freeze for up to 1 month." (emphasis mine) Another tidbit from the same page (and this I did not know): "If you want ripened bananas for baking, but don't have them on hand, you can imitate the ripening process in the oven. Bake peeled and thickly sliced bananas in a glass baking dish in a pre-heated 400 oven for about 30 minutes or until well-softened. Cool completely before using."I love tips and tricks!Peggy
