Donate to others.that's the trouble, they don't freeze well at all, and you end up with them coming out your ears.

I mainly use them in stir fries, in casseroles too but you have to add them at the end or they disintegrate.

In summer I make all of the above plus Zucchini Relish to store for later.
Recipe as follows:
Zucchini Relish
Combine 500g zucchini (sliced into circles), 2 sticks chopped celery (don't always use), 2 diced onions, 1 chopped pepper (green or red),
Cover above with cold water & stir in 1/4cup salt.Stand overnight.Drain and rinse next day, then add:
1kg chopped tomatoes and 1 1/2cups white vinegar (often use malt vinegar).Bring toboil.Cover and simmer for 10mins then add
2 cups castor sugar and stir till mixed.
Blend together 2tblspn cornflour, 1/4cup water, 3tblspn mustard and 2tblspn curry powder.Mix into zucchini/tomatoe mixture and bring to the boil.Simmer 5mins.Bottle while hot.
Alter the curry/mustard measurements to suit.Sometimes I don't put in so much sugar, really depends on your taste buds.I make this recipe every year and is yummy to put into casseroles, stir fries, base of a pizza etc in the winter.
