I have kept a slop bucket for some time. When cleaning out my freezer I found one probably from April - just normal veggies - do you think they would still be good?
I could use it probably later this week.
~ a slop buckets is a bucket you place all your leftover veggies in, place it in the freezer, and then use the mixture in soups, stews, etc...~
Answer:
LOL Okay, let me tell you....I have things in the bottom of my freezer from YEARS ago!!!! I made delicious chicken pot pies a few few weeks ago from pie crusts that expired in 2000!!!! I say try it....it definitely can't hurt you, and it would be a shame to waste it.
Answer:
Ok :D....now April doesn't seem that long ago.
Thanks Jennifer!
Answer:
yes they are fine to use.
Answer:
I'm the same way. I have stuff from 4 years ago that I still use. I think it'll be fine.

LOL! that's funny, I grew up on a farm and a slop bucket was full of all the peels and leftovers, and it all went to the hogs.I know yours is just leftovers, right? Is yours just a mix of leftover veggies and fruits? I know that Italians have a dish that they make which is just all scraps of leftovers that are saved throught the week. I would go ahead and use it.

After reading this thread I have started to keep my veggies in the freezer. Thanks for the great idea!!

I've heard of it but never done it. It would really save throwing out those odd and ends and help with left overs
