fruit
For best results freeze fruit before vacuum sealing. Wash
and dry fruit. Then spread on a tray or cookie sheet. Place
the cooking sheet in the freezer for about hours, then
transfer fruit to a Vac-Snap bag and vacuum seal.
vegetables
Frozen vegetables sometimes turn black if they are not
blanched before freezing. To blanch vegetables, fill a -
quart pot with water and bring to a boil. Also, fill a large
bowl with ice water and have a colander or strainer on
hand. Add vegetable to boiling water and cook for the
times suggested on the next page. Vegetables should
retain a vibrant color and remain crisp and "undercooked".
Remove from boiling water and plunge into ice water until
completely chilled. Drain as necessary, dry, and transfer to
a Vac-Snap bag for vacuum sealing.
