Now if i freeze it, it will then have to defrost and be cookd again for the third time - is this dodgy? Im just b eing paranoid maybe as first time making carcass soup

Thanks Penny. I got food poisoning from a friend cooking for me so am now very paranoid. I dont think she would be as cautious and careful as me!

Would some keep ok in the fridge until tomo too? sorry, new to all this.

Hi,
I am just in the process of stewing about 10 lbs of cooking apples , can i make crumble with the stewed apple and freeze them without cooking the crumble topping please? or do i have to cook it?
Thanks

Crumble is only sugar, butter and flour so there is absolutely no reason why you can't freeze it uncooked. I keep crumble mix in a bag in the freezer and just sprinkle it on fruit straight from the freezer and cook.

Thankyou very much , im going to be busy this afternoon then even more than usual on a sunday afternoon as its baking day!

I'm sure you will anyway, but freeze the stewed fruit in useable 'crumble-sized' portions. Then, when its a miserable, snowy, windy Sunday, all you have to do is take a portion of apples & a portion of crumble from the freezer, and hey presto - comfort food pudding! I usually defrost the apples, but not the crumble, prior to baking, as the apples will take longer to defrost than the crumble will to cook.

As this has fallen from the front page of Old Style, I'll add it to the Freezing QQ thread

Does anyone know or has anyone ever frozen dominos pizza?
Just had some delivered as we had 50% off vouchers that expire next week and they sent me the wrong pizza, when they delivered my correct pizza they didn't ask for the wrong one they had delivered earlier (I didn't offer it :eek: )
So I was thinking of freezing it for OH ( I won't eat it as it's full of jalepeno peppers euch!)

Any advice would be great!

Hi, I have just opened a jar of pizza topping sauce, will it be ok to freeze the rest as it doesn't say on the jar, it just says use within 2 days of opening.
Thank you

Hi jewlls,

It'll be fine - I used to do this as my ex would leave half a jar every single time, just empty it into a plastic bag or box and bung it in the freezer It might get a bit watery when it defrosts, but you can just stir that in.
