Amortization is the gradual repayment of a debt over a period of time, such as monthly payments on a mortgage loan or credit card balance. To amortize a loan, your payments must be large enough to pay not only the interest that has accrued but also to reduce the principal you owe.
Freeze the zucchini until ready to use. Blanched zucchini can be frozen for 9 to 14 months depending on how airtight the seal is and how cold the freezer is kept. After thawing out the zucchini, use it within 3 days and do not attempt to re-freeze it.
Store ground venison (aka, Bambi burgers) in a freezer at 0F or colder for no more than 3-5 months. Venison roasts and steaks can be stored up to 6-12 months at this temperature. Meat quality and flavor will deteriorate in the freezer over time. Proper dressing, handling, packaging, quick freezing, and colder freezer temperatures will help maintain meat quality for the longest period of time. Thaw meat in the refrigerator or microwave (on the defrost cycle), never at room temperature. (Adapted from: So Easy to Preserve, Andress and Harrison 1999).
