Freezing Plums
2016-10-04 03:21:13 · answer #2 · answered by burgas 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
not as raw plums and expect them to defrost as plums. The high water content breaks up the cells. You can freeze them is you want to make jam / cakes but they end up very mushy.
We've had a similar problem recently. I guess the freaky hot weather has done something because the ripe plums are going off within a couple of days of being ready.
We chose to make wine rather than freeze.

Yes you can freeze plums, I have a plum tree which gave us hundreds of the things this year! There is only so much plum crumble you can eat in one go! So I made loads of it and frooze some but I also froze lots of the fruits themselves.
Depending on what you're gonna use them for I would suggest de-stoning and slicing them first. Hope this helps :-)

Well my mother freezes her plums every year.
She has a plum tree in the middle of her garden.
I think its fine to freeze fruit (although obviously alot of the nutrients may be lost).
Its meat that you should worry about.

I think it's best to at least partially cook them before you freeze them, because, like most of the soft fruits, although you can obviously freeze them - you just put them in the freezer! - it's when you come to thaw them out that the trouble arises. The water content will have frozen, but as ice expands on thawing, it turns the fruit into a mushy mess, but if you do the cooking bit first, you've beaten it at its own game!

Yes, they freeze fine, but they can develop an almond-like taste if they are kept for too long with the stones in. So, the fruit should be stoned before freezing. You can freeze them halved unsweetened, or cook them in a sugar syrup so they are ready for a pie or whatever.

yes but they won't be very flavorful or appealing when they thaw - if you want to preserve fresh plums the best way is to can them in glass mason jars with a simple sugar syrup - my grandma did and would use them in the winter to make plum pudding

As a general rule, look in the freezers in your local Iceland, or Farm Foods. If it's not there, you can't freeze it.
