Choosing Pork

Agape Goon — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:30:05 +0000

Unlike beef, mutton and to some extent, lamb, which need to be hung to tenderize the meat, pork is eaten fresh. It does not keep well, so you must be very careful where you store it and for how long. Thanks to modern cold storage, pork is no longer seasonal can be bought safely at any time of the year. But in hot weather it should be bought only from a refrigerated display.

Vegetarian Food- Animal Fats

Agape Goon — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:30:01 +0000

This term may refer to any dietary fats obtained from an animal source. Some vegetarian (though no vegan) foods, such as milk and cheese, contain animal fats. However where the term is used in food labeling it will normally refer to fats such as suet and lard. Since these are obtained from animals after slaughter they are not considered suitable for a vegetarian diet. Animal fats contain mainly saturated fats (see polyunsaturated fats)

A-Z Home of Freezing- Avocado Pears

Agape Goon — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:30:22 +0000

This fruit loses its subtle flavor in freezing, and the flesh discolors very quickly when cut. Avocado halves can be prepared if the stone is removed, each cut side rubbed with lemon juice and frozen in cartons, for use in salads. Mashed avocado pears can be frozen in small containers, allowing 1 tablespoon lemon juice for each avocado, and this seems to be the best method of preserving the fruit. This pulp can be thawed and mixed with onion, garlic or herbs to use as savoury dip or spread. Whichever method of freezing is chosen, 2 1/2 hours at room temperature should be allowed for thawing and the fruit stored no longer than 3 months.

Artichokes Freeze

Agape Goon — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:30:16 +0000

Globe artichokes freeze well, but Jerusalem artichokes do not freeze satisfactorily. The heads of globe artichokes go stale quickly, so it is only advisable to freeze them when home grown. Growing Artichokes are best grown from plants rather than seeds, and they may be propagated by suckers. These should be removed when 9 in high either in April or Nevember, then replanted deeply kept well watered. Plants should be protected in winter, after cutting off stems and large leaves, earthing up inner leaves, and covering with suitable litter. In the spring when the plants are uncovered only three suckers should be left, and well rotted manure forked around the roots. Plants are best renewed after the third year. For large heads, remove all lateral buds as they appear or when no larger than an egg.

Freezing: Remove outer leaves from each head and wash artichokes very througly. Trim stalks and remove “chokes” . Blanch no more than six at a time in 4 quarts boiling water with drain upside down on absorbent paper. Pack in plastic or waxed boxes, as polythene will tear. To cook, plunge into boilding water and boil for 5 minutes until leaves are tender and easily removed. Artichoke buttoms may be frozen by removing all green leaves and centre flower, blanching for 5 minutes, then cooling before packing. Storage time: 1 year.
