frozen squash

9 years ago

Theoretically (not really, lol) if I were to leave a pumpkin and a spaghetti squash out in the yard/garden when overnight temps dropped to 14 degrees (C), will they still be usable(after they thaw, of course). They will get baked, so it's not like we want to use them fresh. I mean, people freeze pumpkin as a preservation method, right? It's not like accidentally freezing a tomato and then wanting to slice it up for a sandwich.

Do you really mean 14 degrees C? That's well above freezing.

No, lol... I meant 14 degrees F... apparently my lack of sleep and mommy brain got to me last night. I brought my two squash in this morning when I went out to defrost the chickens' water... the squash were frozen solid. I'm hoping I can cut them in half and bake them today without ill effects.
