I always freeze it - just cut it into chunks, cut off skin, boil down well (like you are doing mashed potatoes) drain well, mash and drain again. I usually freeze in one or two cup bags and then can take it out anytime to make a pie or bread! I have been doing it for years - freezes wonderfully just drain well!!

And although I didn't mention it and it seems obvious, scrape all the "guts" out like you are doing jack-o-lanterns first!

With the help of Mrs Wages, I made the best damn lemon cucumber pickles this far north of the Mexican border!!! Everyone loves how they are crisp and refreshing for a pickle.

Lost my tomato plants to the late blight as well. Harvested the green ones to ripen and hopefully they won't be affected by the blight!

I have heard of many people using our refrigerator mixes with other veggies - green beans, asparagus, etc and have wonderful outcomes.
