Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, September 4, 1985, page 3 Freezing captures the goodness of Summer Harvest In contrast to the pioneer days when putting up the harvest was a_ tedious undertaking, today home preserving is a relatively simple process. According to Statistics Canada, over 75 per cent of Canadian households own a freezer. This helps account for the fact that 80 per cent of all home preserving is by freezing. Freezing is the simplest, safest and tastiest way to preserve the fresh taste of foods. All that's required is some basic kitchen equip- ment and heavy duty freezer bags. Don't neglect the importance of the latter - proper freezer packaging is essential to protect the quality of your frozen foods. Even amongst freezer bags thicknesses vary. Choose the thickest, strongest freezer bags to ensure best results. Following are some tips and basic techniques, from the makers of Ziploc freezer bags, to help you successfully freeze the season's harvest. * Select only fresh, good quality produce at peak maturity. Freezing will on- ly preserve, not improve, the quality of food. * Prepare foods for freezing as soon as possi- ble after picking as quality deteriorates quickly. * Most vegetables re- quire blanching before freezing. This process of quickly plunging vegetables in rapidly boil- ing water destroys en- zymes, naturally present in food, which cause deterioration during storage. Follow times recommended in freezing books or government publications. * Pack prepared fruits and vegetables into heavy duty freezer bags. Press out as much air as possible, to prevent freezer burn, and zip closed. * Fruits, such as berries, and some vegetables, such as peas, beans, and broc- coli flowerettes, can be frozen individually on cookie sheets. When frozen solid, transfer to freezer bags and return to freezer. Zippered freezer bags allow easy opening to pour out the desired amount; zip closed and return to freezer. * Label bags with type of food, number of serv- ings and date. Keep a freezer inventory record to ensure oldest foods get us- ed first. * For quickest freezing, place freezer bags against bottom and sides of freezer, in a single layer. Leave a little space bet- ween bags so air can cir- culate freely around bags. * When frozen, stack bags neatly for greatest freezer efficiency. Peak quality fruits and vegetables properly prepared and packaged in heavy duty freezer bags can be frozen for up to one year. Plan to restock your freezer with the fresh pro- duce of the season. For ser- ving, most frozen vegetables require only a quick reheating and light seasoning to capture the fresh taste of summer. Or, try the following recipes to give a new twist to your frozen vegetables. Cauliflower Gratin 5 cups frozen cauliflower (approximately 1 regular size freezer bag) 6 tbsp. butter or margarine, divided 1% cups fresh bread crumbs (3. slices bread, crusts removed) OR 2 cup dry bread crumbs Salt and pepper '2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a gratin dish (large flat baking dish) large enough to fit cauliflower in one layer. Place Library news brief The summer reading club held their wind-up party last Thursday. A visit from Smokey the Bear was a pleasant surprise for the children. Reading cer- tificates and prizes were awarded to Lisamarie Cor- nect, Kerry Robinson, Trevor Seergobin, Jane Stewart, Lisa Sutherland and Jessica Wilkes for reading and reporting on up to 7 books through the summer. The reading reports from all club members will be displayed continued on page 10 cauliflower in dish. Season with salt and pepper and dot with 2 tbsp butter. Melt remaining 4 tbsp butter in skillet. Toss bread crumbs in butter over low heat until golden brown, stirring constantly. Spread evenly over cauliflower. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cauliflower is tender and topping light- ly browned. Makes 4 servings. Variation: Try a broccoli gratin with cheddar cheese topping. Add cheese during last 10 minutes of cooking time. Try freezing a combina- tion of vegetables together in a regular size freezer bag (i.e. broccoli, cauliflower, carrot slices, green beans). Follow specific blanching times for each. Then com- Vegetable Salad. The vegetables thaw and marinate at the same time, right in the freezer bag. Use a Ziploc freezer bag - the zipper seal prevents leakage. Marinated Vegetable Salad Prepare in the morning or the night before serving. 2 to 2% cups frozen vegetables (any combination) '4 tsp dijon mustard 1 tbsp red wine vinegar Y tsp sugar Pinch each salt and pepper 1 tbsp finely minced shallot or onion 1 small clove garlic, minced % cup vegetable oil Make dressing by whisking together mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, pep- per, onion and garlic in a ture thickens.
