 Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, Jeff, yes. It does sound counterintuitive, but this is how the big companies do it. By the way Fruit Fresh is actually not that bad – don’t let the dextrose scare you – the amount you will use is very small. |
 jschillsr 11 years ago | so is this the corrected post? Blanch Fruit? that just sounds counterintuitive.

| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, Jeff. If you don’t want to use an additive, you can just blanch the produce before freezing. |
| jschillsr 11 years ago | I find that when buying fresh fruit I often don’t finish the whole thing before it starts to spoil. This happens especially with melons and strawberries. I asked some folks about best techniques, and most of them point to a product called “fruit fresh” as something to add before putting the in bag for freezing.
I’m suspicious of that since the first ingredient listed is “dextrose”…so I’m thinking either eliminate entiresly or go with something else that is natural.
Suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance! |
