If you have the freezer space available, it is well worth your time and a,real money saver to freeze produce. With wise use of your freezer there is no “out of season’’ for products from the' garden and orchard. Freezing is one of the simplest and least time obnsuming ways to preserve foods at home. It keeps the natural color, fresh flavor and nutritive values of most fruits and vegetables very well. Some varieties of vegetables freeze better than others. Vegetables with high water content do not freeze well. This would include potatoes, lettuce and celery. Cabbage will freeze in slaw if you follow a recipe specifically for freezing (see recipe included in this column >. An important step m preparing vegetables for freezing is heating or “blanching” before packing. Practically every vegetable, except green pepper, maintains better quality in frozen storage if heated before packing. The reason for heating vegetables before freezing is that it slows down the action of the enzymes. If vegetables are not heated enough, the enzymes continue to be active and the vegetables may develop off-flavors, discolor or toughen. A good experiment to prove this point is to freeze a package of fresh green beans with no heat treatment and a package of blanched green beans on the same day After a couple of months of storage cook the two packages and compare color, flavor and texture. The difference is quite noticable. For further help with home preservation of foods visit your
