Can I safely freeze a dessert that contains fresh fruit?

Question

I have some very ripe pears that I would like to bake, possibly in a pie or a tart.

Answer 1

A pear pie would freeze nicely. If you aren't going to bake it first, toss the pears with a little lemon juice so that they don't turn brown. I once made an apple pie filling and put it in a ziplock bag. Then I placed the bag in a pie plate and froze it that way. When I was ready to bake the pie, I placed my apple pie filling in a frozen pie shell and threw it in the oven. The frozen filling was the perfect shape for the pie shell.

Answer 2

Answer 3

you can freeze fruit, excluding melons. They contain too much water and mush when you thaw them. You can freeze just the fruit to be used at a later date. For apples a pears chop them soak in cold water and a bit of lemon juice (to prevent browning) first. them freeze in ziploc baggies. try to suck the air out of the bag. happy baking

Answer 4

Yes. They make a powder too that work great with freezing fruit. I remember my mother used it. Maybe "Fresh Fruit"?
But water work too.
