Tips
Drying Herbs
Drying Herbs. One of the easiest ways to preserve their flavor and reduce food waste. If you have an abundance of herbs in the garden or a bunch in the fridge that's starting to wilt, drying them allows you to enjoy their flavor for months to come. Once dried, store them in an airtight container and use them in soups, sauces, marinades, and seasoning blends.
Freezing Onions
Freezing Onions. A simple way to save time and reduce food waste. Having chopped onions ready to go makes weeknight cooking faster, and they're perfect for soups, stews, sauces, casseroles, and other cooked dishes. No need to thaw just add them straight from the freezer to your recipe.
Freezing Peppers
Freezing Peppers. Fresh peppers freeze beautifully and are one of the easiest vegetables to preserve. Whether you have an abundant harvest from the garden or found a great deal at the market, freezing peppers ensures you'll always have them on hand for soups, stews, stir-fries, omelets, and pasta dishes. Best of all, there's no blanching required.
Freezing Tomato Paste
Freezing Tomato Paste. Freeze leftover tomato paste in 1 Tablespoon portions on a baking paper lined tray, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. You'll have perfectly portioned tomato paste ready whenever a recipe calls for it with no waste, no fuss!
Storing Fresh Berries, Grapes & Cherries in Glass Jars
Storing Berries, Grapes, and Cherries in Glass Jars is a simple and effective way to keep them fresh longer. Just sort out any soft or spoiled fruit, skip the wash until you're ready to eat, and place them gently into clean, dry jars. Stored in the fridge with the lids on, this method can keep your fruit crisp, flavorful, and ready to enjoy for up to two weeks!
Freezing Fresh Berries
Freezing Fresh Berries is a great way to enjoy summer sweetness year-round! Just wash, dry, and freeze them in a single layer before transferring to bags—this keeps them from sticking together and makes them perfect for smoothies, baking, or snacking anytime.
