Festive Freeze

No, that's not quite right. You can freeze Brandy Butter. Just freeze in a tightly sealed, lidded, freezable container for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge.

No, that's not quite right. You can freeze Fresh Herbs. Just finely chop soft herbs and put in ice cube trays, top up with water and freeze. Woody herbs can be frozen whole in freezable containers. Tie rosemary, bay leaves and parsley stems together to create bouquet garni. Freeze for up to two months and use from frozen by melting the cubes into dishes.

That's not quite right. Yes, it is possible to freeze Egg Whites. Just put them in plastic food bags and freeze in a flat layer (reusable bags are best). Label with the quantity of egg whites. Or use a reusable, freezable container and freeze for up to six months. Defrost at room temperature.

That's not quite right. Yes, it is possible to freeze Christmas Cake. Just portion up your Christmas cake (icing and marzipan included), and wrap or bag individually. Freeze in a larger reusable bag or container for up to four months.

No, that's not quite right. You can freeze cooked meat for up to 4 months, (3 months for pigs in blankets – if you have any left!). Slice/portion meat and then freeze in reusable containers or bags. Defrost by placing in the fridge the day or night before you plan to use them.

No, that's not quite right. You cannot freeze trifle, unfortunately. While some elements could be frozen separately, others just do not freeze well at all so trifle cannot be frozen once assembled.
