Its so hot right now I really don't want to can it if I don't have to. I was wondering if I could just blanch it, then drain it really well and freeze it. I have 3 large heads out of the garden and we sure won't eat it fast enough. We had some for lunch today...delicious! Quote \| Reply \| Report

I don't see why blanching and freezing would be any different. I'm going to try it...I have a few heads ready in my garden now and hubby and I sure can't eat them all at once. This is one of our cabbage recipes.. Open a roll of Jimmy Dean mild sausage, stirr and fry it slowly till done then add shredded cabbage, salt and pepper to taste, and just enough water to cook til cabbage is tender.(Cover pot while cooking.)

It's for freezer slaw. I've got antique 15 and 18 gallon crocks and the wooden stomper thing. I don't know what they're called. It looks almost like a baseball bat. My mom said my grandparents and greatgrandparents used to use those to make and store their coleslaw. Duh! It would help if I posted the recipe link! http://www.recipezaar.com/9099 It's hot here, too. Quote \| Reply \| Report
