Freezing-ahead basics for any big holiday meal work this way: DO FREEZE:
Baked pumpkin, butternut squash and yam casseroles or merely the baked vegetable. Breads of all kinds Soups without cream or eggs Gravy, cranberry sauce and relishes Unbaked apple pies. Bake frozen, adding 20 minutes to the baking time. One caution: Use only metal pie plates. Glass or china ones will crack in the oven if they go in cold. Cookies and cakes without custard fillings Vegetables cooked and uncooked like mashed potatoes, corn, carrots etc. Milk DON'T FREEZE: Custards, which include pumpkin-pie filling Cream sauces Leafy and watery vegetables like greens and cabbage and raw tomatoes unless you are going to use in soup or sauce later. Jell-O salads, marshmallows or salad dressings Merry Christmas from LR --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
