can I freeze my jelly instead of canning it?
Comments (10)Ken - A comment on canners and racks - if I may - Be sure to check water bath canners to see if they are tall enough for quart sized jars. They are making shorter ones now - that work better for pints. The shorter ones will not allow a full 2 inches of water over the top of the jars once filled, especially if it has a rack that lifts off the bottom. Also - in the case of choices in racks - I have very hard water and went looking for a stainless steel rack as a rust inhibitor. I did find one, however, the wire configuration is such that it lets smaller jars tip over. It would be best if they made them with concentric circles - as some are. These will hold small jars upright and prevent tipping. Sometimes these little annoyances can be irksome when you've got a big pot of boiling water to contend with. Just my 2 c's.

Comments (7)You know, I would be tempted to try it. I freeze cream cheese all the time. It does get crumbly & mealy, but if I'm cooking with it I can't tell any difference in my cheesecakes & other baking. Personally, I think I would mix it up & freeze before baking. Maybe you could give it a try some time when it is not for an "important" group....See Morecan I freeze an 'impossible pie'?
Comments (6)I have lots of impossible quiches in the freezer. Some with salmon, chicken, or ham, and others just veggies, cut into portion sizes, wrapped in wax paper, then in aluminum foil. I nuke them in the wax paper on defrost for about a minute and a half, then unwrapped for a minute or so on high. Never found them to be rubbery unless I use cheap cheese (American, Velveeta, etc.) so Swiss, Muenster, Colby, or Cheddar is used and I don't use the pre-grated Parmesan in a can (that loses its flavor when frozen for some reason). Those pies make a great snack or lunch, and somebody in my house sneaks them at midnight. But, better than a doughnut, I'd say. Nancy...See MoreAppetizers from canned biscuits?
