Freeze pumpkin with blanching Here?s how to freeze and blanch pumpkin to better preserve its flavor and texture: Wash and wipe the gourd to remove any debris or dirt. Cut it into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the zucchini to the boiling water. Let them boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove them from the hot water and immediately place them in an ice water bath. Let them cool for the same amount of time you let them boil. Drain them well and dry them as much as possible. Spread them on a baking tray and freeze them beforehand for 1-2 hours. Transfer to freezer bags or storage containers in the portions you prefer. Label, date and seal all containers and freeze up to 12 months.
