* How to freeze fresh pumpkin?
Frozen pumpkin pieces are great for making pumpkin soups or for side dishes...
To freeze pumpkin, you first need to clean it of seeds and fibers, then cut it into cubes. Place the pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet or tray covered with parchment paper. Put in the freezer for 20 minutes, then take them out, put the cubes in separate bags and put them back in the freezer.
Freezing pumpkin puree.
Pumpkin puree is a very practical option, it can be used to prepare various dishes. Pumpkin puree can be added to soups or used in baking. You can freeze the puree in small bags or in plastic cups. If you use freezer bags, after laying out the puree, try to release excess air, then you need to tie or seal the bag tightly. Place the sealed bags on a tray or board and put them in the freezer. If you use cups, fill them to within 2-3 cm of the edge. When putting the puree in, shake it slightly to remove air bubbles from the puree - then it will freeze more evenly. Wrap the cups with cling film on top and put them in the freezer.
What kind of container to freeze in?
You can freeze the puree in bags, plastic containers or even in jars (for example, from baby food). The container for freezing should be chosen based on your needs. Bags, unlike containers and jars, are great space savers.
Don't forget to weigh!
Before freezing puree or cubes of raw pumpkin, it is advisable to weigh them and then write the weight of the product on the jar or bag, because this greatly simplifies the cooking process, since you already know exactly how much pumpkin is needed for a particular recipe. You can divide it into portions: 250 g, 500 g, etc. Knowing the weight is important, especially if you use pumpkin for baking. The seeds need to be thoroughly washed, dried, lightly salted, then dried in the oven at a temperature of +180 °C for about 30 minutes.
You can fry the seeds in a frying pan with a small amount of oil, stirring constantly. The seeds can be eaten by themselves or added to salads and porridge.
Pumpkin seeds are a valuable product, so do not throw them away after cleaning!
Defrosting.
For many dishes, such as stews, soups or risotto, pumpkin pieces do not need to be defrosted beforehand. If you have defrosted the pumpkin, you cannot re-freeze it, since the pumpkin will lose its taste.
