Freezing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to preserve the fresh taste and nutrients of fruits and vegetables—when done correctly. It’s a safer and more convenient alternative to canning and can help you save money by extending the life of homegrown produce, farmers' market finds, and grocery store deals.
In this class, you will learn essential freezing techniques, including which foods require blanching, how to prevent freezer burn, the best storage containers to use, ideal freezer conditions, and additional tips for preserving produce year-round.
