Do you batch cook for the freezer.

Mimi, I forgot about apple sauce! We have an apple tree, and I make lots of apple sauce and freeze it in small containers, to hopefully last until the next crop of apples.

Never thought about making and freezing apple sauce.I ought to do,as hubby's friend always sends apples.

I have frozen strawberry sauce in mine. I bought a big batch of strawberries for the children and something happened and the venue changed so they were going to get wasted so I made sauce and put them in two portion tubs. I also froze whole tomatoes last year as we had so many and I also freeze herbs.

I don't cook specially for the freezer but like others, freeze chili, spag bog, etc. I also make apple sauce if I am given a bag of cooking apples so I just add some crumble mix for a quick pudding. OH quite often gets to the left overs before I can freeze them. He works such odd and erratic hours that it makes meal planning impossible. I now freeze chicken pieces, chops etc individually so I can get something for myself if he is out. We have a few strawberry plants and I often freeze them as I pick them and then add them to a trifle which always goes down well.

I love corned beef hash - have this when I have forgotten to defrost something and don't know what to eat. Mashed potato, fried onions then chop the corned beef in to it (I like large chunks) - delicious.

If I have any veg left over I freeze it until I have enough to add to mashed or chopped boiled potatoes, fried onions and corned beef to make a meaty Bubble and Squeak.Boiled potatoes can go watery if frozen but when all fried up together it doesn't matter.

I freeze extra of what we have cooked like spag bog, veg soup, Curry, allsorts really ,always try to make a bit more then always a quick meal , also if we have toms that are going over we freeze to go in sauces same with peppers slice and freeze . also if we have a roast chicken or other meat we make gravy and put the meat in then freeze , just the other week we had two portions of rib eye beef in gravy to take out and defrost all ready to put with veg very nice quick meal . Im not a lover of shop bought pies much prefer home made as if I got even a little bit of fat in a pie I would throw up . Brian just shakes his head if we have bought a pie as I have to take the top crust off and fork through the meat a couple of times just to make sure . one thing I wont freeze is Carrots ,they go like rubber yuk

Yesterday I made four lasagnes, two batches of spaghetti Bol (not the pasta) & four shepherds pies. In the freezer for a day when I'm not up to cooking. All I need to do is to remember to take one out the night before. 😉

I have to remember to take a cottage pie out tonight, ready for tomorrow.

We love Tescos Finest fish pie, Plant. The large one is just big enough for 2, so we treat ourselves once a month or so.
