Yeah been cleaning and sorting them today, some go to family, some are for our big family Xmas party on Sunday, others are in our fridge to enjoy at our leisure and the rest I pit them and freeze them for pies and cakes etc. I’ve got a sweet sweet bowl in front of me now to chill out with

Do they freeze well just for eating (like grapes)?

Wait - you can freeze grapes??????

Yep.
Wash them and pull them off their stems, delicious. They go a bit sweeter frozen so are lovely on a hot or muggy evening.

Yes my son in law loves them frozen and hard, I don’t. I only use frozen ones for cooking.

You learnt this today? Frozen grapes are a fav treat in summer, the kids adore them. We used to have them in the school canteen instead of lollies

I'm way too old to just be learning this but far out. Maybe because at our house they never lasted long enough to be frozen

I haven’t posted here for a while but it’s been agreat summer for fruit but not great for vegis. Melbourne has had extreme weather ups and downs and wind and hail damaged tomatoes, eggplants, and most stuff. Potatoes were ok but not like the last couple of years, it’s just been too wet, and I went away for a few days and the birds ate my rockmelons. But still had plenty of things to pick and cook with

My sole contribution to this is receiving 8 mangoes from a friend. They're delicious and he's so far harvested about 54 mangoes off the tree, in Sydney.

I'd commit some serious crimes for easy access to pomegranate.
