Dee Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I finally figured out to freeze things flat. I used to just pour it in and make bundles of this and that. Now, I lay things flat to freeze. Here's some chicken broth I put in the freezer last night. Yes, I do it with corn, frozen slaw, pretty much everything I freeze. They stack or stand so neatly and take up lots less room.

Cat Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I just did 5 dozen ears of corn, cut off the cob, for BigDD. I had lilDD there to help with DGS, so it wasn't too bad. But my back is sore from standing at the sink cleaning, then cutting it! LilDD said I can just go rob sis's corn now, since I did most of the work. Sweet corn... Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 LOL - brought in a huge armful of New Zealand spinach from the garden, picked through it, soaked it, rinsed it, soaked it, rinsed it again, blanched it, drained it, and just put TWO 10 oz packages in the freezer! Sigh, I didn't even put a dent in the patch. Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Update - I NOW have 11 bags of New Zealand Spinach in the freezer (I've used 2 bags). So, I've managed to clear one of my 3 garden beds of New Zealand spinach. Bok Choi here I come! I also put away 15 - 4 slice packages of bacon, 9 - 1 lb packages of gr.beef and 5 single loaf bags of sprouted wheat flour. I think I'm tired now . . . Quote Link to comment
Katz25 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Freezer pickles today. I was going to get out the canner but i'm feeling lazy... so freezer pickles it is! What are freezer pickles???? Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Blanched and froze 12 lbs of asparagus spears, 6 more bags of new zealand spinach, and 12 more cilantro cubes. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Lots and lots of meat that I bought on sale, bulk, re-packed and vacume sealed. Won't have to buy meats for 2 or 3 months probably! Freezer is pretty full. Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Froze enough peach pie filling for 8 pies. Ugh, what a slimy mess from all of those peach skins! I also need to remove some of the tomatoes I've tossed into the freezer when I was feeling lazy and get them canned up. I've also frozen 2 gallons of figs over the past 2 weeks. We've been tossing them into our breakfast smoothies and they're pretty good! Quote Link to comment
indy gal preps Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Defrosted and cleaned and cleaned out the outdated foods from the deep freeze,now I have room to put more back in there. Quote Link to comment
Homesteader Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Freezing sweet corn today and canning a bushel of tomatoes into chili sauce/salsa. Quote Link to comment
lovinit Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 24 lbs of fresh blueberries are in the freezer. I would like more but am running out of room. My spinach is huge and it may taste bitter, but I'll try some of it for smoothies also. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Potatoes...15 pounds cut, cooked, vacume sealed in bags & into freezer. Easy to grab for hashbrowns, mashed potatoes or potatoe soup. Last year I soooo enjoyed pre-cooked potatoes that I had boiled whole. This time I went ahead & peeled & chunked them. Either way, they'll be quick food. Quote Link to comment
