I place it in an ice cube tray, freeze, the vaccum seal them 3 by 3. I think it's the best way to keep the same flavor without getting freezer burn. I keep them exactly the same way I would do with caramelized onions and my meat tenderizer.

It's a cross between a plum and an apricot - not an "apriclot!" It is wonderfully tart - with enough juiciness and sweetness that you don't make a sour face. It's worth having the juice trickle down your chin. It's worth ... spelling correctly.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601656778586008081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387813811203789547.post-36504398535837485912009-07-31T16:15:33.587-05:002009-07-31T16:15:33.587-05:00What lovely figurative food references, Claudia.
