Fennel - Storage

[Susiebelle]

Not sure whether this is the right place for this query?
For the first time ever I have had a super crop of Fennel and wondered if any one has found a way of storing fennel other than freezing?

I'd be interested to see what others do - we just eat it when its ready, which isn't always convenient, but does mean we invite friends or family over to help us!!

Do not freeze bulb fennel as it goes mushy.

Don't think we are gonna find out 1066!
Thanks for that realfood I will not try freezing - just have to eat it all   :)  :)

I don't think we will Susiebelle!
I was wondering if it could be roasted and then stored in oil in jars? Like you can with tomatoes or artichokes  :-\

or stored in damp peat like carrots, beetroot, etc, we often add the fresh top growth from them to salads during the winter  :)
