canned fruit
Stephanie
the small cans wrapped in several can packages. The large cans are even
cheaper, but we don't each that much before it goes bad. Is there anything I
can do with this fruit? I cannot imagine taking canned fruit and freezing
it...
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I freeze canned fruit all the time. There is no problem that I know
of. I would suggest placing the fruit in a plastic container rather
than leaving it in the can. A zip lock bag would work too. They ship
fruit like that, but why bother with the expense.

why not? probably be mushy when thawed, but if you use it for
smoothies/pies, should be okay.

Boil it with some sugar and put it up as preserves?

syrup. Canned fruit is really unhealty, unless you can it yourself without
all the extra sugar. It's much more frugal to by fresh fruit and freeze it.

Oops....and all along I thought the thread was about uses for canned
fruit, not dietary preferences.
Sorry.

Canned fruit is not unhealthy. Only the syrup it's packed in is, and
not all canned fruit is packed in HFCS. Sure, there are degrees of
"nutritiousness" in fruits (fresh picked yourself and eaten on the
spot, flash frozen, fresh in store, canned and last, dehydrated.

The fresh season here in VT is *short* and does not cover much. We buy up
all the in season from the US when it is on sale and eat like royality. But
much of the year the supposed fresh fruit is expensive and nasty.

I was thinking of getting a dehydrator. I don't know much about them. When I
have done fruit leather in the oven, it never comes out. Can you do leather
in a dehydrator or just chunks?

I am also a more than adequate canner. I just have only recently gotten to
the point of being poor enough to warrant saving Every Last Scrap! (But we
are happier than we have ever been, so there is no complaint here.)
