Avocados - Stock up on Sale and Freeze-Tips OAMC

Ingredients

• 1 avocado
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. 1

   Halve avocados, remove pit and flesh and place flesh in a zip top plastic bag. Add lemon juice and mash or squish the avocado. You can puree it in a blender or food processor if you like and then add to the bag. ( I have frozen diced and sliced this way as well though the mashed or puree works best).

2. 2

   Seal bag almost all the way. Squeeze out all the air in the bag, pressing and flattening the avocado and bag until all the air is removed.

3. 3

   Label bag noting the number of avocados inside, lay flat and freeze for up to 6 months.

4. 4

   Note: To use: remove from freezer and thaw for 15 minutes at room temperature The avocado will still be fresh and green like you just peeled and mashed it.
