Dear readers,

I’ve made a new discovery (please don’t rain on my parade and say that you do this too.)

Recently, I’ve discovered the joys of freezing fruit. Call me crazy, but I can never eat tangerines the same way before. The frozen tangerines are succulent treats that are not only tart, sweet, and sour, but actually a little creamy–a little like sorbet (not kidding.)

Just pop the tangerines in your freezer, let them freeze for about an hour and then take them out to defrost. If you try to peel the tangerines straight frozen, it will be extremely difficult. Let them defrost for about thirty minutes or so. A good indication is when the outer layer’s frozen condensation begins to melt. It should be easy to peel and should only take no more than a minute. You’ll be surprised with the juicy frozen center that actually tastes like a frozen orange drink mixed with a subtle dessert.

But not all frozen fruits are tasty. Take it from me, a freezing fruit guru who loves freezing everything and anything (including milk…don’t ask why,) somethings are better left the way they are.

Do NOT try frozen: strawberries, watermelon, bananas (too hard,) blackberries or apples (unless you want to chuck it at someone’s head.)

DO try: blueberries, kiwis, grapes, mangoes, pineapples, lemons and limes. If you have a blender, blend various fruits together for healthy, easy, fresh drink!
