How to freeze plums

Name: How to freeze plums
Prep time: 12 h 40 min

Yield: 900 g
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 kg 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 1 kg 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.

Keeping: Several months in the freezer.

Source: Home made.
