Freezing Cantaloupe


Lots of melons to deal with this year. I can handle it!

Simply peel those cantaloupe and cube in bite size cubes.



Lay on a baking sheet and allow to freeze overnight.



The next morning place them in freezer bags 



Then seal




I add a bag of these frozen to a blender along with yogurt, blackberries and a little honey to make winter smoothies. Yum 

You could also let these thaw just a little and eat them as snacks.

  4. Thank you so much for such a informative blog. Found your blog back in the spring when I was looking for gardening blogs, and have been reading it ever since.

    We had so much cantiloupe this year I thought I would experiment. So I cut it in chucks, flash froze it on trays, then put in bags, and returned to the freezer. When I read your post today I told my husband that I could stop wondering if my experiment would work. If you do your that way I sure it will work. This winter I'm going to try to make some cantiloupe ice cream.

    BTW your bacon looks so good I could not stop looking at it. Now that's the way bacon should look.

  5. I froze some last year and I ended up with freezer burn. My bags didn't stay sealed. I'm going to check into those bags you mentioned in your other post.
