I have a slight dilemma. I had a great butternut squash year last year in the garden. Not only did I get a lot of them, but the ones I got are tremendous. It was a self planted seed ( must have been in the compost), so not sure of exact variety.
Anyway, I want to plant this variety. Only way to do that is to cut open one of the squashes I got downstairs and get the seeds out of it. The problem is, I did so many things with the first squash I cut open ( mostly soups) which are now in the freezer, I need another way to preserve the squash for later use. Worst case scenario, is Ill just make more soup, but was wondering what other ways to preserve it, or things to make that could freeze well. if not it will either rot, Ill have another huge pot of soup to freeze, Or Ill be eating butternut squash based foods for the next 2 weeks ( probably longer, these things are almost as big as my cat).
All suggestions welcome
