I once picked too many apricots (11 pounds) at brentwood here in NorCal and then ended up giving them away as I did not know that you could freeze fruit. jennifer, can you give me freezer recommendations??? I had an old maytag one that died and i am struggling with the small space in my main fridge/freezer. I would typically like to freeze soups, fruit, bread and some grocery supplies (coffee beans) etc. Thanks in advance.slacker momma and savvy techie!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04818256520071270990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-60763982915906277372008-09-05T13:47:00.000-07:002008-09-05T13:47:00.000-07:00>>Jennifer, can you freeze peppers the way t...>>Jennifer, can you freeze peppers the way that you freeze peaches?

Once they're frozen you can put them all into a container or freezer bag.Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-60921835279774132092008-09-05T13:46:00.000-07:002008-09-05T13:46:00.000-07:00>>are those peaches ORGANIC ?No, they're...>>are those peaches ORGANIC ?<BR/><BR/>No, they're not ORGANIC. It's still hard to find organic fruit orchards here, but they are starting to turn up. <BR/><BR/>As I said in my posts this summer, sometimes money is limited and it's more important to find whatever you can get affordably. We eat so much fruit, I can't always afford nothing but organic. I also like supporting local farms, and this was really fun. <BR/><BR/>We do blanch and peel all the fruit before we eat it, though.

I hope she had permission to use that recipe!<BR/><BR/>About the peaches, I love them, but not the fibreglass fuzz that gets all over my lips and hurts. Peeling and freezing them is definitey the way to go. Does the arrival of peaches mean that our season of fresh summer produce is almost at an end?

I can get fantastic, inexpensive fruits and vegetables there, but none of the peaches, blueberries, apples, pears, or other fruits I'm used to at home.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167700077050477840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-81036638877783303562008-09-02T22:35:00.000-07:002008-09-02T22:35:00.000-07:00That's a lot of peaches for that price!

Seems waaaay more fruitful (heh heh) than the blueberry picking I did a couple years ago. <BR/><BR/>Grilled peaches are a great dessert! If you've got a grill pan (or, y'know, an actual grill), you should try it out!
