Freezing Fruit

[mel81q]

I am waiting for my thermomix to arrive and have a (probably stupid) question. A lot of recipes here are using frozen fruits - so are you all cutting them up into small pieces or freezing them whole or in large chunks eg. for the strawberry foam?

Thanks

Cant wait to get cooking.

whole strawberries here and I haven't used other fruit but would cut it to about strawberry size

Best not to have frozen chunks that are too big - strawberries are OK whole if not the hormonally huge ones.

most fruit is cut to about ice cube size.  i freeze spread out on trays and then bag so they are less inclined to stick in one horrible mass/mess.

Just makes it easier to blitz them quickly and not have big pieces left not broken down.

My kids freeze everything!  Watermelon, apples, berries, mangoes, bananas.. you name it... but then my kids eat frozen fruit salad anyhow... LOL

Pineapple freezes particularly well and doesn't lose it's colour either.  Love pineapple sorbet and will have to do my next fluff with it too.

If you are going to use it for sorbet, then anything goes.  If you want to thaw fruit out then strawberries and melons don't do well - but work brilliantly in sorbets.
