Do I need it or just want it.1 -
Not sure if this the right place to ask. Can i freeze large pieces of parsnip for future roast (blanching first) or do they work best cube sized? I like only cutting them half/quarter lengthwise.It's good for the soul to walk with your soles on the soil.2
-
I'd freeze them however you would normally roast them, so half or quarters will be fine.2
-
I freeze them in quarters too, if I want them smaller a heavy knife will go through them frozen.Do I need it or just want it.2

Our daughter - she is 50 - has moved in with us to help. Apparently they don't need forensic people at the university at the moment so she thought she'd like some fresh air and we could do with help. She's a star but a bit accident prone so DH has banned her from the chain-saw, and tractor driving.Housework is also not her forte!!!
