I don't know why I've never thought of freezing cucumbers... but this is a GREAT idea. I also really like the color of the cucumber ice cubes! Smoothie looked delicious! I LOVE homemade naan bread, I throw garlic in it all the time as well! Hope all is well!!

@bluebirdhomestead 10 ай бұрын

I really love the color of those cucumber ice cubes too! I think they look like jewels with the mold of the ice cube tray too, which is always fun. Freezing cucumbers does alter the texture some just so you know, but they are still perfect for smoothies :). Naan bread is soooo good haha I completely agree! Thanks for watching! -Cara

Oh nice! I have not experimented with that before, but it sounds like a great idea. Have you made bread and things with them?

@amsohn1 10 ай бұрын

@@bluebirdhomestead yes ma'am... my Grandmother use to do this with the massive harvest, so this year we had little Zucchini and loads oc cucs, sooo I tried it! Everyone loved it... I did end up removing some of the seeds in the bigger cucs, however I used the typical Zucchini recipes and swapped out cucs, worked perfect! Chocolate Chip Cucs Bread is my families favorite, however they also love the Cinnamon Raisin, and Cranberry Peach breads as well...

@bluebirdhomestead 9 ай бұрын

Ohhh Cranberry peach bread sounds delicious!! I made cranberry orange scones the other day, but I have never thought of mixing peaches and cranberries before. I will have to give baking with cucumbers a try next summer :) -Cara
