Those people who know me well know that I cannot bear to waste any food that my garden produces. My cooking apple tree and damson trees are laden. So my husband is gathering a tub trug from each every few days and I am freezing it all. Damsons are easy – I just wash them, drain, bag and freeze. Apples take a bit more effort. An old aunt showed me a simple and not too time consuming way to prepare the fruit:
Peel and slice
Put in water with a bit of salt to preserve colour and prevent browning
Drain
Spread out on to a cling film lined baking tray. pop in to freezer.
Leave for about 2 hours until frozen
Break the slices up as you pop them in to a freezer bag.
There you have it…sliced apple that with a quick rinse are ready for pies etc throughout the year until the next harvest 🙂
Jo's food bites. 
I freeze a lot of fruit but never though to freeze apple in chunks! What a great idea.

So useful! A good way to preserve other things too? Perhaps potatoes? Am always finding that potatoes are sprouting before I can use up whole bag.
