:hello: gp!!

Slice into cold salted water. Blanch for 1 minute. Dry and freeze. HTH

Did you use the sugar method previously, gp?

PS: Forgot to mention, don't forget to sprinkle them with a bit of lemon juice before freezing.

What mix do you use for your crumble.
You have all put me in the notion to make one.

Hi cuddlymarm

I've just added your question onto our "Quick Freezer questions" thread.

And for those of you now inspired to make a crumble there are lots of seriously nice recipes plus tips in this thread:-

I freeze fresh herbs, phillidelphia and red wine (if there is any left!!!) not sure about the celery tho, but i would think you could.[/QUO

Thanks Cat
Would you cook or blanch it first do you think?

With herbs, i just pop them straight in the freezer, in a bag. They are good to 'crush' when frozen, saves chopping when they are defrosted!!!! (that doesnt take long either, and i have popped them straight into a recipe, crushed from the freezer)

I have been given some fresh corriander to use in a recipie, but I have got all my meals sorted for the next month so don't want to go out and buy the other ingrediants for the recipie. can i freeze it?

yes, you can freeze it.
in the past i have just washed it, dried it, chopped up and put into a plastic bag but i found that after a while it turned a funny dark green colour, not pretty to look at i can tell u!
My mum then gave me a brill tip and i've never looked back, after chopping it up, stick it into a plastic container with a lidand it will keep for absolutely ages.
I usually buy 3 bunches for a pound from our local asian supermarket and it keeps for ages in my plastic tub!
good luck

I chop mine up, put them in ice cube trays, freeze the cubes and then put them in a tub. Fresh as a daisy when you use it!
