What Types of Fruit Can Be Frozen?

In principle, you can freeze all types of fruit. If you only want to process the fruit later, you should wash and dry the fruit thoroughly before freezing. However, if the fruit is very ripe, it may be a better choice to eat it right away, as it will be very mushy after thawing.

Stone fruit such as apricots, and peaches, their variety – the flat peaches, nectarines, damsons, or plums should first be halved and stoned before you put them in the freezer. This makes it easier to store the pieces of fruit and, if necessary, to process them further. Portions of peeled rhubarb can be frozen very well, and freezing is no problem for most berries either. First freeze berries on a tray or plate, otherwise, they will stick together when frozen.

Fruit types that contain a lot of water, such as strawberries, can also be stored in the freezer. However, after thawing, they no longer taste as aromatic and become mushy. However, they are still well suited for jams, fruit yoghurts, or quark dishes. Alternatively, you can puree fruit that contains a lot of water before freezing it.
