Wash and dry fresh zucchini and grate on the coarse side of a box grater or in a food processor and put into a large bowl of lightly salted ice water. Use a ricer to extract as much liquid as possible and measure 2 cups for each small plastic bag. Press out as much air as possible and seal. Freeze until ready for use.

Mix the dry ingredients together. Mix the oil, eggs and vanilla in another bowl. Add the zucchini, nuts and raisins. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Divide into 2 greased loaf pans and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
