i defrosted my freezer last night,unfortunately about 2 lb of blackberries did not survive.
if i turn them into apple and black crumble can i freeze the finished article or will i be eating crumble all weekend?

i dont see why you cant refreeze as its not meet, but i doubt it would taste to nice

there should be no problem with making a crumble, cooking it and refreezing it (in case anyone's worried, I am not a "girly" but I just asked my missus who used to run her own catering business)

Refreezing thawed fruit will usually end up with a load of slush while freezing the finished cooked dish is fine.

Make the mush and freeze it. itl be fine. Iv got alsorts of that stuff in my freezer. U dont have to make the whole crumble to freeze it.

ok crumble party at mine tonight,bring your own cream/custard etc

make sure you have at least an inch of crumble

As already suggested, reduce them down with some castor sugar, the sweet pulp can then be frozen in bags and used for whatever you want in the future, will probably be usable for months.

Absolutely correct

..... I often do that with the glut of fruit, in the summer. Brilliant for pies, crumbles, turnovers, stewed fruit and custard, fruit fools, trifles, fruit-crepes (with ice-cream) etc.

Slapped wrist for my lateness John, but it was such a nice day, had to test the Fozzmobiles shiny new track wheels/tyres out, and then take the other toy, the VXT, out for a spin around the countryside

well in the jungle some strange lad had an arse and a dick to eat...but i don't think it was spotty
