I mentioned yesterday the mutant zucchini that the bread was made from. I should have expected it after seeing the size of the plants. But this is just ridiculous.
And the season isn’t even over yet. I wonder if zucchini bread freezes well …

It does! And may I say, “Holy cow!”
it freezes beautifully. wrap each loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then seal in foil. i grew up eating moist, delicious zucchini bread all winter long.
Holy crap!
Then I think I’ll get some disposable foil pans and make a huge batch. Awesome.
Hey Drew, we got zucchini like that often from our garden when I was a kid. Zucchini bread does freeze well, but so does just plain shredded zucchini. Just shred, drain, freeze, and say hello to zucchini bread, zucchini pancakes, zucchini friggin’ everything.
P.S. I actually had never seen zucchini smaller than that until I was about 18. I thought there was something wrong with all the zucchini in the grocery store until my mother explained we had a freak garden.
sweet bird beat me to it, but I was definitely going to suggest freezing shredded zucchini. Then you’re not locked into zucchini bread, good as it is.
Sweet Bird, I know what you mean. My mother’s garden used to do freak cucumbers.
Jenn, shred and freeze sounds like the way to go. I’ll pack it in “one loaf of bread” portions, so I can easily make it fresh throughout the winter.
I don’t want to see anything that big in my garden. I prefer my vegetables to be small and easily subdued.
Yes, but your tomatoes swarm, like red ants. Everytime you squash one there’s three more to take its place.
I don’t know about freezing the bread, but I have canned (bottled) bread, now that is really kewl.
Canned bread? I thought that was only on Ren and Stimpy and Spongebob. It’s for real?
Okay … how?
Now that is a BIG Zuchinni!!!
How many loaves will that insanely huge thing make I wonder?
That’s a great question. And the answer is … I haven’t got a clue. I’ll have to weigh the next one and do some math.
Better yet, is to shred and freeze the zucchini itself in baggies, portioned for a batch of fresh bread
Yup, someone mentioned that up above. That’s what I plan on doing.
