Aunt Besya
And the fact that I was kneading nothing with a metal (stainless steel) potato grinder? I threw away the wooden crush as unnecessary a few years ago
kleskox35
Aunt Besya is okay, but I still do this - in a blender I mix strawberries with sugar in the same proportion, put whole berries in a container and fill them with this mixture, it's very tasty! And then you can decorate the cake with whole berries, I defrost it for a long time, in the refrigerator, everything is soaked with gradual defrosting.
Aunt Besya
Thank you girls! Yesterday another 2 kg. I froze it, only I was kneading it without fanaticism, just a little so that the juice allowed the sugar to disperse;) Let's see! It's never too late to digest
lina
Aunt Besya, you will not need to digest))) A metal pusher is not scary, I beat it with a mixer, and a blender, and drove it through a chopper. Sugar - to taste, just a little, it will be stored the same. Then this happiness can be: eaten as a dessert, like popsicles (without defrosting) - very tasty, and good for coffee; add to ice cream and cocktails (who likes); defrost and use as a sauce for pancakes, etc .; sandwich pies-cakes - with a thin layer for impregnation or add to cream; further down the list ... And I don't have berries. Only a little was for food ... On the market, prices for strawberries are simply indecent ...
jinar
tell me what to do with 2.5 kg of blueberries ??? does it make sense to make juice in the freezer or whole berries? then marmalade, for example, you might want ... or you shouldn't bother with juice at all?
I think also from the red currant, so prepare the juice - the juicer should cope (well, at least I'll try it in this regard)
Mams
Aunt Besya She gave her husband a taste of the mixture prepared in this way. There was nothing to freeze. 2 kilos of strawberries dared just like that. I had to buy a couple more kilos on purpose. Poured into small containers, literally 250-500 ml. For these purposes, a friend bought disposable ones (they usually put sour cream in them in the store). I have already frozen Strawberries, raspberries and apricots. 1 to 1 mu. In yogurt - generally not to die, how delicious it is. The husband eats like this, with a spoon.
I also want a little blueberries and something else

I freeze with whole berries, and then in the filling in curd balls and dumplings. And I also grind with sugar 1: 1 and in the refrigerator, then a couple of spoons in a cup of boiling water and you get a healthy tea, my child loves this very much

Girls, here's a tip for coffee lovers.
Summer, after all, milk is not stored for a long time.
I froze it in cubes, and in the morning in hot coffee.
Conveniently.
And then I'll buy milk, and it turns sour on the second day.
The problem has now been resolved.
jinar
natamylove Thank you!!!
dachshund, so I need to buy many, many ice molds! although, probably then the bags will do)))

In the season of cheap eggplant for several years in a row I have been freezing them for 10-15 kg in baked form (in raw - about 20 kg)
For this:
1. My eggplants and prick with a fork on top a couple of times.
2. I put it tightly on 2-3 baking sheets (how many fit in the oven) and bake at 180C for 40-50 minutes.
3. Cool and remove the skin.
4.I put 2-3 things in plastic bags.
5. Place the eggplant bags in the freezer tightly to each other.

Such eggplants make excellent fresh caviar, sauté, stew. I even add it to borscht.
And in each bag with such eggplants, add 1-2 pieces of baked, peeled and peeled red or orange peppers. It turns out super !!! And it is more convenient to cut them slightly frozen - then beautiful pieces are obtained.

I agree 100%! ...
I make 1/4 of all prepared eggplant with pepper.

Girls, if you freeze asparagus beans, do you need to boil them or freeze them raw? Who does it like?
Qween
May @ , I liked this way the most:
I cut the beans into pieces ~ 4 cm. I blanch them, pour them over with cold water (then the color is preserved), dry them and put them in the freezer.
Summer resident
It needs to be blanched. Dip in boiling water for 1 minute or hold over steam
an_domini
Why blanch? You need to get rid of unnecessary work. For many years I have been freezing asparagus beans by washing and cutting them into pieces. Then in portions in polyethylene double bags and into the freezer. Asparagus beans cannot be used raw, so they will still need to be thermally processed. When cooking, immediately put the unfrozen in a saucepan or stew for stewing (for vegetable stew).

And her taste is different. Try it and see for yourself. Blanched is tastier
crossby
Dear hostesses, what would you advise to do when freezing with ordinary young beans? Yesterday I bought a freezer for 260 liters, it's a pity that it's already the end of the season, but in the freezer with a refrigerator (80 liters) I managed to stuff little
Summer resident
Just in a tight bag in the freezer Ideal for portioning.

I struggle with the skin of the baked eggplant like this ... if I don't want to peel it, I cut it in half and take out the pulp with a spoon.

After baking, I immediately put the eggplants in a plastic bag and let them sit for about 5 minutes. The skin comes off wonderfully.

That is, if I understood correctly, all this needs to be shoveled in a blender and poured into ice bags?
kleskox35
Well, yes, I wrote about this at the beginning of the topic,
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...ion=com_smf&topic=6043.60

only before I used ordinary ice cube trays, but now I switched to ice bags, it's more convenient and easier. The photo shows the approximate amount for a package of ice bags - 350 eggs, or for 3 servings of whipping in a Mulinex blender,

Has anyone frozen fresh beets? Is it possible to grate it like a carrot and immediately into the freezer?
Tanyusha
an_domini is possible, I do this especially for salads with fresh beets very convenient.
kava
And I often ice beets, boiled and peeled (but whole). Then it is convenient for a fur coat or even for borscht.
DJ
Today I finally took the first step to using the freezer, put different breads there, white, rye
To which my mother looked at me in surprise. I explained to her that this is in case there is no bread at home.
Otherwise, we only use the freezer for meat.
I think the next step will be homemade milk

You acted very kindly, DJ... When I lived in the south of Western Siberia, only frozen milk was sold on the market in winter and was kept in the freezer at home. And if milk was needed, then they put it in a saucepan and on a quiet fire ... both defrosting and boiling
Disana
girls, how much electricity does the freezer consume?
in monetary terms it is interesting to see
Oleg
Disana-freezers consume on average about 200 kW per year.

A friend of mine fries green onions in butter and freezes them. I myself did not try to eat or do - I do not accept frying onions for pies, and even on butter ...
LenaV07
lina
Roasting can be called a stretch ... So, heat treatment to soften and obtain a more plastic filling. Freeze fried? It will be necessary to conduct an urgent experiment ... Thank you!
Crochet
LenaV07
And I always ice green onions for the winter, in large quantities ... then at least wherever, even add to the first courses, at least to the second ... Yes, anywhere you can (except compote). And for the filling, I do not fry it, but I stew it together with cabbage ...
LiudmiLka
Krosh, and I tried to freeze green onions - I didn't like how the cotton wool became.
LenaV07
Many thanks to all for the advice, as well as for the idea itself. And why didn’t it occur to me earlier? I freeze greens in a large quantity, and then I slowed down ... But along the way I got the idea to freeze beet tops ... In winter there will be Ossetian pies

By the way, girls. Gulshat suggested ... every year, closer to autumn, she freezes eggplants, and all winter she stews, bakes, and most importantly, makes a wonderful pizza out of them! She promised to post the recipe on the forum.
And I freeze chopped tomatoes, and in winter I put them when cooking broth with meat, carcass in borscht and vegetable stews.
LiudmiLka
In addition to greens, I really like to freeze bell peppers. I remove everything unnecessary, cut it lengthwise into several slices, fold it tightly in portions into a film, tie it well. In winter, I cook lagman with him, add it to the deputy.
balbesik
this year, to the already traditional dill, parsley and bell pepper, she added green onions, tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini. The last batch was removed 6-6.5 months after freezing.
The onions survived the freezing wonderfully, added mainly to sauerkraut, sprinkled herring with butter and, of course, into soups-borscht - a beauty !!!
Eggplant - for stewing or baking, tomatoes mainly for pizza - great too.
But I didn't really like the zucchini - some kind of taste not very pleasant appears, it is necessary to stew very strongly with the addition of many spices, tomato paste, etc., then you can eat, but I will not freeze more zucchini.
leka
Girls, and every year I twist gooseberries with oranges and sugar in a meat grinder and pour them into containers, put them in the freezer, and in winter the aroma is indescribable, and there are more vitamins than when you boil them. I also did apricots with lemon and orange, for ice cream just super!
May @
Probably everyone in life has had a situation when the bread is over, and the new one has not yet been baked or is still hot. So I propose to bake bread, chill it well, cut it into pieces and freeze it, let it be. At least at any time, you can get the right amount of pieces, defrost in a micro and eat.
Kalmykova
I have one client who does this all the time. Thawed a piece, with a toaster of it. Says great.
lenok2_zp
I will freeze baked blues and tomatoes tomorrow. There are already cooked chanterelles in the bins, blueberries, strawberries twisted with sugar, currants, cherries, should you freeze some cohobes? STILL AT THE DACHA WOODS AND ZUKINI ARE NOT BURNED, but if you rub them and freeze them? garbage will be?
Basja
lenok2_zp I froze the zucchini, but I didn't grate them, but cut them into cubes. Everything is great. I think there will be a lot of juice on a grater and it will turn out that you will have to freeze it with it, and when cutting into cubes, the juice does not stand out.
NIZA
Last year I froze the zucchini a little for the first time, for testing, cut them into cubes and put them in bags, for a vegetable stew, caviar - it's just wonderful, and we bake eggplants (blue) at the dacha on the grill, then I remove the skin, put them in bags of 2 3 things and in the freezer, caviar and stew are very tasty, with a smoke
an_domini
And last year I froze young zucchini, cutting it with washers and not cutting off the peel, as in store frosts, very well.
Lissa
And zucchini can be frozen with washers without a middle. In winter, I filled it with the filling and into the oven.
Aunt Besya
For the third year already, I have been freezing zucchini with washers without a center for stuffing, and this year I also cut it into small strips so that immediately in cabbage soup

A wonderful way, Tortyzhka told us about it, since then, for me personally, turned out to be just a godsend! I only eat black, and my husband only white. If I keep a black loaf in the table for a week (I have a loaf of 500 grams of flour for a week), it doesn't even matter what: in a bread bin or in a bag, it will still lose its taste if mold doesn't go So I do this all the time: I'll bake , cool, chop on a slicer, pack in portions, wrap tightly in cling film and in the freezer. Without a microwave, it leaves in 30 minutes. I see that it is running out, I take it out of the freezer. no heating-up is needed for the next meal. The bread is delicious, fresh, once baked !!!
Basja
Aunt Besya, I completely agree, I have the same situation, and I do exactly the same.

Are the tomatoes intact or should they be cut?
Aunt Besya
It depends on what they are then used for: if for soup-cabbage soup, then you can whole. Then pour boiling water over them, the skin is removed remarkably. And if for pizza. then you can immediately in circles. Only at the beginning, let it grab on the sheet so that the circles do not stick to each other
