How to freeze apricots for the winter
Apricots are excellent fruits, containing many vitamins and fiber, and few calories. Apricots are frozen most often in season. Then they contain a maximum of vitamins and minerals. In addition to the fact that freezing preserves a maximum of vitamins, it is also a very successful way of harvesting for those housewives who do not feel very confident in canning.
Apricots are frozen in various ways: in sugar, whole halves and also in the form of mashed potatoes. From frozen apricots, you can make compote, charlotte or pie, smoothies or jams, ice cream and sweet sauces for pancakes. Pieces of frozen apricots can be added to porridge, fresh cottage cheese. Remember that thawed apricots should be eaten immediately, as they spoil quickly. Try to use the fruits at the moment when they are only slightly defrosted and have not yet let the juice in, and add completely frozen pieces of apricot to baking.
