82 Frozen Fruit

Many fruits freeze well and are convenient for the baker, with the disadvantage of having an associated energy cost.

• Frozen blueberries have less tendency to break down and discolour the batter when worked into quick bread recipes.
• Certain frozen soft fruit such as raspberries can be partly thawed in the cooler and used on fresh fruit flans and tarts. Strawberries, however, don’t work well, becoming too soft.
