Freezing Pears

Can't get to all the pears for baking? Freeze them now while they are fresh and plentiful then bake up some juicy pies and crisps in the dead of winter!

Ingredients:

5 pears

2 tbsps lemon juice

5 cups water

 

Wash, core and slice the pears. Peel them if you prefer but it's not necessary. Add the lemon juice to water then submerge the pears and let sit for 10 minutes.

Then remove the pears and drain in a colander. Lay the slices out on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer. Cover with plastic wrap or a plastic bag and freeze for 24 hours.

Remove from freezer, bag and label. And back into the freezer.

Then just take out what you need for the recipe you want to make. Bake from frozen. You may need to add an extra 10 minutes to your bake time.
