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
water. 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.
