Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, February 24, 2022 11:27 AM Dear Mark, Your website inspired me to join a CSA this past year, and I'm looking forward to frequenting my local farmers' market again this summer. I absolutely love all the produce selections, but this has opened my eyes to how limited I am in the late fall/winter by what's usually available (and affordable) in the grocery store. (I live in the Northern Plains.) I'd like to begin thinking about freezing some items to enjoy them post-season. What tips do you have for doing this? Thank you! Thanks for the question! You're correct—as incredible as it is to enjoy fresh veggies and fruits when they are in season, it's smart to look ahead to the "scarcer" months. One of the best ways to carry over the season's best, of course, is freezing. (Grok would've traded a lot of hides for a deep freeze chest….) This year, as you load up on seasonal produce in the spring, summer, and early fall, here are a few suggestions and resources for the best freezer prep and storage techniques. The week of Feb 21, 2022, Primal Kitchen is featuring ways to cut down on food waste. Find food waste facts, waste reduction tips, exclusive recipes, and resources from the Farmlink Project by signing up here. Set Up Select your freezer space First off, I'd highly recommend investing in a deep freezer. You can certainly make use of the freezer compartment of your refrigerator, but it's typically a limited space and doesn't stay as consistently cold as a deep freezer chest. (For best results, freezers should be kept at 0° Fahrenheit or less. A simple freezer gauge can give you an accurate reading.) Although items should still last a number of months, you aren't going to get the same longevity using your refrigerator freezer (8-12 months for most produce when properly prepped and packaged). If you're worried about initial cost, keep in mind that there are plenty of good used deep freezers for sale. Check scratch and dent sales, classifieds, and Craigslist for starters. And also keep in mind that you have the potential to recoup much of that money within the first year alone, depending on how much you choose to freeze (produce, meats, etc.). It's less expensive to buy good quality produce in season and make it last through much of the winter than it is to buy your full produce needs in the off-season. When you add the savings of cowpooling or other bulk meat/poultry/game storage, it won't be long before your freezer will pay for itself. Storage solutions for produce As for wraps, bags, and such, don't skimp. You'll need high-quality storage to keep out moisture. Lined freezer paper and freezer tape can work for "dry" packing produce. Another option, particularly for purees or fruits that will be stored with juice, is freezer-appropriate canning jars. Many people find it more convenient to use plastic freezer bags (either the Ziploc kind or the self-cut kind that requires a heat sealer). In any case, … Continue reading "Dear Mark: How to Freeze Produce" The post Dear Mark: How to Freeze Produce appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
