I froze a small amount of peaches (chopped up and mixed with sugar) this
year, just to test it. It was only about a pint or so. I've been
freezing other fruit (strawberries, raspberries, etc.) to put on my
oatmeal in the morning, but that stuff is dry enough that I can keep it
frozen until use, and then just break off what I need.
With the peaches, though, I put the bag in the refrigerator to thaw
first (since I couldn't separate them otherwise). OK, that worked,...
except that the whole thing turned the most putrid brown color! I mean,
it really looked disgusting.
So how do I avoid that? I've seen a product that's supposed to keep
apples from browning (I can't remember the name of it right now). Will
that work with peaches, too? Or can I just add some lemon juice? It's
not a big deal, since it's only me eating the stuff,... but even I'd
feel better if it looked a little more appetizing. :-)
Thanks,
