With it being summer in the US, there is stone fruit abound. Sometimes too much abound. A couple weeks ago I ate ten stone fruits in one day, then had a peach cobbler for dessert. The next day I woke up with a headache. I thought maybe a fruit smoothie would be good but what a bad idea that was. I barely touched it and lay around for a couple hours feeling like I might be sick. In the end I slept it off but I’ve been left with somewhat of an aversion to peaches, nectarines and apricots. Fruit is delicious and healthy but you CAN go overboard! I’m calling what I went through a sugar hangover.
To combat greediness or it’s equally evil antithesis, wastefulness, freezing your excess fruit supply is a good idea. Don’t do it whole though! Unless they’re berries, you’ll have a hard time trying to deal with them when you get around to using them on your cereal or in a smoothie.
Chop the fruit as you please and place on a sheet of baking paper on a hard surface like a chopping board or baking tray. Try not to have them touching.
Put in the freezer and transfer fruit pieces into an airtight container when frozen.
