Here is the latest installment in my FREEZER FACTS:
Did you know the following can be frozen?
Curry leaves and kaffir leaves - we rarely need all the curry/kaffir leaves that we buy from the greengrocer. Store the excess leaves in ziplock bags for your next curry
Meringues - did you know that meringues can be eaten straight from the freezer? They’re deliciously crunchy and a little bit cool. Actually, my husband prefers them from the freezer than eating them fresh
Smoked salmon - buy smoked salmon when it’s on sale and freeze for another day
Leftover fried rice - either make your own, or buy from the local Chinese restaurant. It's great for an easy kids' dinner, or put in their lunchbox with a plastic fork
Lemon/orange/lime juice - if you have too many citrus fruits you can freeze the juice in icecube trays then transfer to a ziplock bag and store in the freezer
Lemon/orange/lime zest - and don't waste the zest, simply grate it and store in small ziplock bags and freeze
