Cauli glut

[Scottishnewbie]

currently having a cauli glut and up to my eyes in it with end of terms stuff and family birthdays and dont want to lose it. does anyone know if i can just chop it up and open freeze it for using at some other time?

many thanks

I have frozen it but find it doesn't freeze well. I don't grow it anymore as I can use the space for something that doesn't give me such a huge glut.

How about piccalli? Uses loads of cauli and then you can always give it to friends.

Or make up a batch of cauliflower cheese and freeze in meal size portions.

Cauli soup is absolutley brill and freezes, but yes just cut into florets and freeze, I had the same problem once 12 cauli's came at once I had to rush out and buy another freezer.

I feel your pain - i only grew mine as the next door know it all was telling me that I'd never be able to do it as "caulliflowers are really hard to grow!"

I've got nine massive ones - I mean they are head sized.

They make a nice mash if you combine them with sweet potatoes and some creme fraiche

I've been known to freeze and use in curries etc but I don't like it much as a main veg after being frozen but then again there are people on here who freeze cabbage and I don't think it's worth the bother so give it a try, might be fine

As others have said, it will freeze, but never as nice afterwards (but OK for including in things like curry, soup etc, and tolerable in cauliflower-cheese)
