What to do with absurd amounts of fennel

[ClickityChick123]

Hi everyone! We just harvested a bunch fennel from our garden this year and are wondering if anyone had any recipes or ideas for what to do with it!
Thanks, and have a good day!

I am jealous! We have to buy it up here.

I use it solely for pre-boiling country-style pork ribs in.

I put about 1/2 cup of fennel seed, a whole apple, whole onion, peppercorns, celery leaves, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, and seasoning salt along with the meat in a big pot. Fill with water to cover the meat. Boil that then simmer for an hour, two is better. Then drain, cool, and pick all the stuff off, and grill the meat, or you can put whole baby white potatoes and saurkraut in with the meat and simmer that for half an hour or so.
