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 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.
