Freezing rhubarb is dead easy. You don't have to cook it or anything. Just place the stalks on an open oven tray and freeze for one hour, then put into freezer bags, tie them up, and bung 'em back in!

Yes you can freeze it raw or stew it lightly first-whatever's easiest for you.

I freeze it in chunks; that way it's easy to use as much or as little as I need

I'm sure I've asked this before somewhere, and got differing responses. Some said just chop it and chuck it in the freezer, others said blanch it first.

Does that help?

I've just chopped & chucked.

Hi Ted, could you give me some instructions for 'bottling' fruit please? We have taken on an allotment, which besides weeds, has a very nice line in raspberries! About 70 bushes to be precise! I love them and don't want to waste them.
Many thanks
