How to freeze plums

When fruit is in season, there's sometimes a glut - far more than we can use at once.

Freezing is a good solution, but plums and other stone fruit should not be frozen whole; the fruit will be unappetizing when thawed.

Here's a simple method for successful freezing.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Rinse, drain and dry 333 g plums.

Stage 2

On each fruit you'll find what looks like an indented "seam" down one side. This is the line to split along.

Stage 3

Cut into the fruit with a small knife down to the stone, then turn all around this.

Stage 4

Separate the two halves.

Stage 5

Remove and discard the stone.

Stage 6

Lay the two halves on a baking sheet, protected if necessary with a sheet of cooking parchment.

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Prepare all the fruit like this.

Stage 8 - 12 hours

Put the trays in the freezer overnight.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Next day, transfer the frozen plums quickly into bags or boxes of about 1lb (400-500 grams). Seal these carefully, excluding as much air as possible.

Dip into the bags for what you need.

Remarks

This method can be applied to almost all stone fruit: plums, but also apricots, cherries, etc.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
