Instructions

  1. Freezing is one of the simplest methods of preserving and serving foods. Because it only preserves the food's quality, though, and doesn’t improve its quality, always start with garden-fresh produce and top-quality baked goods, prepared dishes, and meats. Also be sure to select varieties of fruits and vegetables recommended for freezing (check seed catalogs or ask a county extension agent), and to freeze the food when it’s young, tender, and at its peak of flavor and texture.
