appropriate sizes. Blanch or scald. Pack in recom- mended container and freeze.

ommended containers with head-space. Cas- seroles and other more solid foods may be frozen in the baking container. If you don’t want to leave your casserole dish in the freezer, line it with foil. Bake, cool, freeze, lift out the foil package, bag it and return to freezer.
