Freezing fruit in a sugar-pac will not only retain flavor, color and texture it also increases freezing time and protects from freezer burn, this method is especially good for strawberries, peaches and fresh pitted cherries though it is not recommended for raspberries as they will crush while mixing, it works well with rhubarb, peaches etc - before freezing the fruit see my Homemade Vegetable Wash/Preserver That Works! (Spray or Soak) Ingredients:
2 lbs fruit |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
Directions:
1. Wash berries then place on a clean tea towel to dry (remove the greens from tops of the strawberries).
2. Place the fruit in a large bowl.
3. Pour the sugar over and mix well with a spoon.
4. Allow to sit for about 25 minutes (the sugar will turn to a thick syrup with some granules still remaining).
5. Stir again then scoop the fruit into desired size freezer bags.
6. Use as much fruit as desired but use 1-1/2 cups sugar for every 2 pounds fruit.
