refreezing frozen fruit

[mummytojames]

does anyone know if you can refreeze frozen fruit because i got a large batch of frozen apricot and peach puree and i was hoping i could incorperate them in youghurt but it would mean defrosting them then refreezing them mixed in with the yoghurt because i want to freeze the yoghurt pots hope you mns can help

Don't think so - sorry! Unless it's raw now, and you cook it and then freeze it. I think the rule is it has to change state (raw-cooked) between freezings. So you could freeze cooked food, and heat it up and eat it, but not refreeze it, or freeze raw stuff, cook it and either eat it or refreeze it.

Why not freeze the yoghurt as it is, and then mix it when you want to eat it.

Seems like a lot of work, even if it's safe - a big pot of yog will keep several days if you only use a clean spoon in it - can't you just hack off a small bit of puree every day, defrost that and mix with some yog?

thanks musica will have to do it that way and jan i was told that you areonly supposed to keep fresh yoghurt for three days then its off and i hate throwing away good food expecialy as i dont eat much youghurt it mainly for ds

Ah - must just be me living dangerously then!

dont mind living dangerous myself but im a bit scared to take the risk with ds as hes had a near miss with food poisoning once before

Yes, you're right, mtj - meant to say that - we can take risks ourselves but you have to be much more careful with a baby's tummy.

normaly i would worry to much about it because small amounts of foods that got to be used that day would help build up his imune system but he had very bad diarea and my bil asked what he had eaten in the last fourty eight hours (he's a chef)which was simple weetabix and fruit breakfasts jared pasta baby food by heinz to different jars both contained pasta and he said to keep a eye on him because if the pasta in the jar was just slightly under cooked it could have given him diarea and to whatch out because theres a chance hecould get food poisoning expecialy if hes run down which he is he's teething
