Yesterday I persuaded my mother to harvest the redcurrant bush. We ended up with nearly 6kg.  :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

Have spent lots of time preparing them. Nearly done now! I'm sure she was pleased she came to visit for the weekend.  :tongue2:

Plotty don't make my mistake.  I had 6kg, but I froze them all in one big bag!!!  Nightmare trying to get 2kg to make jam.  In the end I hade to break it up and repack it. :mellow:

I think your freezer is too cold, i washed mine, drained and froze and had no problems tipping out a few. Or did you not drain water off properly

Water, drain??, I put them in a huge bowl of water, picked them over to remove floating bits.  Emptied them into a colander, moved into a big freezer bag.  Put them into the freezer.

After draining in a colander, I spun mine in a salad spinner to remove the last of the water then put them in the freezer.

I've actually puréed a lot of mine so they takes up up less space in the freezer (and it saved having to remove  the stalks beforehand-the sieving took care of that. Good old Kenwood chefs!).

You can freeze them laid on a baking tray and tip into a bag once frozen and throw straight back in the freezer too. :)

Its a domestic freezer, under the fridge, full of choc ices and Ben & Jerry stuff, oh and garlic bread.  There is no space for my stuff.

Stop buying ice cream then! :D
Our fridge freezer stopped working (it got too hot!) so we bought a separate fridge and chest freezer and we managed to put both in the utility.
Never looked back.

I do have a box of 'diet' mini milks...

2 more courgettes. 4 so far this week.

My friend said she wanted some for this weekend, so I fed them. They don't usually get food. Now I'm a little scared...
