Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen

RE: Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen Post By Jim Cornett (Guest Post) (03/21/2008) Using large plastic apple juice containers, I freeze cool-aid or lemonaide. Fill the container about 3/4 full, to allow for expansion. Then wnen I go fishing or on a trip, as it thaws I've got a cold drink. I sell arts & crafts festivals. This usually lasts about 6 hours before it's all thawed out.

I store all nuts in the freezer (walnuts, almonds, cashues, peanuts). Cream cheese freezes well. Extra milk or eggnog I freeze for use later in pancakes or waffles. Feta cheese also freezes well and will not go old in the freezer. I also store yeast for baking in the freezer. Of course, extra beef and pork bones and leftovers that are for our 2 dogs for "treats" are stored in a ziploc bag in the door of the fridge freezer for quick usage.

These can be carted to work in the morning and are perfect drinking temperature by lunchtime (mix with a spoon). They can also by microwaved and served immediately.

Drop slices in orange juice to keep them from turning brown. When you have enough, pull them out of the juice and put in freezer bags and freeze until you are ready to cook them. I tried it, and they were still good after one year frozen.

You can get many times of use out of it this way.

What a nice treat in the winter to enjoy fresh mint in your tea! And other herbs that I grow and freeze are parsley, chives and basil. To freeze the parsley and chives, simply pick when it is fresh, snip into pieces and put in a freezer baggie. To freeze the basil, pick the leaves only and put in a freezer baggie with olive oil. Press the air out and zip it closed. Press the oil all around so that all of the basil is covered. Lay it flat in the freezer and you have a ready treat to add to your tomato based dishes, chicken, pasta etc.. Just break off a chunk and enjoy.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen | (02/24/2001) I freeze green peppers, either whole with the seeds removed (for stuffed peppers later), or chopped and put in a plastic bag. I also freeze cooked bacon and bacon grease. I'll fry up a pound of bacon, drain the grease in a can and refrigerate the can until the grease is solid. I then scoop out the grease into balls, flash freeze on a cookie sheet, and place in a ziploc bag. Cooked bacon can be frozen too. This is great for those recipes like wilted lettuce or vegetable dishes that call for crumbled bacon topping. The hard part is already done. Cleanup is the same, whether you cook a little bacon or the whole package. ( I know you can cook it in the microwave but I find that my pound of uncooked bacon goes bad refrigerated before I cook up the whole pound if I just do a little at a time.) - John Report Spam or Abuse RE: Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen | (02/23/2001) I don't know if it's odd or not but you can freeze some fresh herbs such as cilantro. You wash the cilantro well and pull off the leaves and chop then using an ice tray place chopped cilantro in ice tray and cover with water and freeze. When frozen pop out of ice trays and store in a plastic freezer bag. Use to season beans, mexican food or what ever. they keep very well for a long time and you don't have to waste the fresh herbs. - Kelley Report Spam or Abuse RE: Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen Post by AmyMasson (2) | (02/23/2001) Contact Things that I freeze: Leftover cooked bacon, cooked ground beef, leftover croutons, nuts; lemon juice and lemondade(fill ice cube trays, pop out when frozen, put in freezer bag), shredded cheese, ground coffee, cereal; cups of yogurt(great treat, works best if placed in freezer container, freeze for a while, then stir); chocolate chips, leftover tomato sauce (put in freezer bag and freeze flat); on-sale or cheap fast food cheesburgers/hamburgers in wrapper and inside freezer bag.

I buy the large bags of flour and to be sure to keep it bug free, I freeze it. It is always ready for immediate use and will not clump together. - Judy Report Spam or Abuse RE: Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen | (02/23/2001) Bananas freeze well. You can freeze them right in the peel or take off the peel and put them in a plastic bag. You can then use them for any baking using ripe bananas. - Susan Report Spam or Abuse RE: Odd Foods That Can Be Frozen | (02/23/2001) Potato chips and saltines freeze fine.
