Food freezing guide
Fruits
Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup, as appropriate. The amount of sugar to use is around 250g
for 1 kilo of fruit. Syrups are used in varying percentages; these are prepared by boiling sugared wa-
ter. The various concentrations are as follows:
• 30% solution, 450g of sugar per litre of water;
• 40% solution, 650g of sugar per litre of water;
• 50% solution, 800g of sugar per litre of water;
So that the fruit's colour does not change, place it in lemon juice before covering it with sugar or pour
lemon juice into the syrup. The receptacles for the fruit to be frozen must remain in the refrigerator for
one hour before being re-inserted into the freezer. The fruit must be completely covered in syrup.

Bread
This can be kept for 2 months. Defrost in an oven set to 50°C, switching it on after inserting the bread.
Butter and cheese
Freeze butter and cheese by dividing them up into pieces for weekly consumption.
Butter and hard cheese (e.g. Parmesan) can be kept for 8 months, other cheese 4 months. They must
be defrosted in the refrigerator, keeping an eye on the condensation that forms on these products.
