Frozen apples are one of the best ways to preserve fruit for the winter. Freezing will preserve all the beneficial properties of apples. This method is much more useful than conventional preservation.
It is necessary
- - sweet and sour apples;
- - 1 teaspoon of salt;
- - half a teaspoon of citric acid;
- - water;
- - knife;
- - refrigerator, freezer;
- - plastic bags or containers.
Instructions
Step 1
For freezing, it is best to use sweet and sour apples. Choose fresh, beautiful apples without rot or bruising.
Step 2
Wash the apples thoroughly, use a sharp knife to core the apples and peel them off. Cut the apples into slices, while the thickness of the slices should be no more than 3-4 millimeters.
Step 3
Prepare a special solution for freezing apples: add 1 teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of citric acid to 1 liter of water.
Step 4
When slicing apples, immediately throw them into cold water. This solution of salted water with a low acid content will prevent apples from darkening and losing their pleasant color in the future. Let the apples sit in this solution for about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the apples from the solution and place them in slices on a special tray or baking sheet, place this tray in the freezer of the refrigerator until they are frozen.
Step 6
After the apples are frozen, you can take them out of the refrigerator and separate the glued apple slices. Then put the tray of apples back in the freezer before they are completely frozen.
Step 7
After the apples are completely frozen, remove them and place them in small portions in plastic bags or special containers for freezing. Tie the received bags with apples. Small portions of apples are most practical for later use, since defrosted apples are not recommended to be re-frozen. they can lose all of their important nutrients.
Step 8
When using, take the amount of frozen apple slices you need, which can be added to compote, baked goods, mashed potatoes for your child, as a side dish, or thawed. Remember that canned apples in the form of jams, jams, or jellies are losing their beneficial nutrients, so if you care about your health and the health of your family, freeze the apples for the winter to give you vitamins during the winter.
