Tips011 fDE%xhi-!gfbdk

There are three essential requirements for efficient home freezing:

1. Initial qwdity. Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains quality and flavor; it cannot improvequality.

Newtechniquesareconstantlybeingdeveloped. Consultthe Collegeor CountyExtension ServiceoryourIocaiUtility Companyforthe latestinformationonfreezingandstoringfoods.

*lJX. DepaflmentofAgricul

fure

Meats, fish and poultry purchased

from the store vary in quality and age; consequently, safe storage time in your refrigerator will vary.

~~ ~~~~~~~~frQz@nmeats, f%h and pmdtl-y:

Always remove store wrappings.

G~ew~”apin foil, fi]m or

Waxpaper

and refrigerate immediately.

2. Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetablesare frozen after picking, the better thtifrozen product will be.

‘!OU’11 save time, too, with less

culling and sorting to do.
