Strawberries ready for freezing |
If you're in a position to take advantage of the glut of fresh fruit now available, now is the time to start buying up lower-priced larger packets of fresh berries.
Freeze them in their natural state or make them into easy-peasy low-sugar jam/compotes for freezing in individual containers.
Both methods are easy-peasy but you might want to invest be inventive with cupboard equipment to make life easier: a ridged pizza pan keeps berries in rows and easily separated; a griddle pan or a plastic microwave bacon tray will do a similar job.
Low-sugar compotes and jams are simplicity itself; freezing them in tight fitting jars saves all that messing about preparing sterilised jars.
Freezing Blueberries on a cheap 'n cheerful microwave bacon tray. 'When the summer months are a memory, frugal home-frozen berries add a jewelled sparkle to crumbles, pies & cakes.'
'Astonishingly good for so little effort! I'll always prefer this to store-bought.' (with low-fat/sugar Scotch Pancakes)
