Time to freeze eggplants

08 of September 2011

The eggplants are now coming on strong. Time to freeze! The way I do that is I cut them in slices, and layer them in single layers with parchment paper between each layer. Once they are frozen, I put them into freezer bags.

The same method works great for squash and bell peppers (or any other pepper you might want to freeze).
