It is advisable to steam cook the vegetables so as not to loose the vitamins and minerals into
the water. Therefore there is no need to wait for them to dry before freezing them, but allow
them to cool first.

(1) Put a bit of vinegar or lemon in the cooking water.
(2) Salt well before cooking.
(3) The vegetables become mushy during the thawing, owing to the high content of water in them. We advise freezing only if you
intend consuming the cooked products.
Generally, the vegetables are better if they are cooked directly without thawing. Reduce the
cooking times bearing in mind the boiling effected before freezing.
Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup according to the cases. The quantity of sugar to
use in order to preserve it is about 250 gr. per kg of fruit. Syrups are to be used in different
percentages and they are prepared by boiling water with some sugar already melted in it.
The various concentration are:
•
30% solution, 450 gr. of sugar for every litre of water
•
40% solution, 650 gr. of sugar for every litre of water
•
50% solution, 800 gr. of sugar for every litre of water
To maintain the colour of the fruit unaltered, dip it into some lemon juice before covering it with
sugar, or otherwise add some lemon juice to the syrup. Fruit to be freezed needs an hour in the
fridge for setting before being placed into the freezer. The syrup must cover the fruit completely.

Before freezing butter and cheese, cut them into pieces for weekly consumption. Butter is
preserved for 8 months and so is hard cheese (parmesan). Other types of cheese need 4
months. defreezing must be done in the fridge being careful about the condensation which
logically forms on these products.
