Re: [nafex] affordable frozen fruit containers

[Thomas Olenio <tolenio@sentex.net>]

Hi,

We don't buy containers of this type at all.  We simply save the
containers that magarine, cottage cheese, and other various products come
in.

The 1 liter sized yogurt are perfect for freezing applesauce.  Smaller
sizes also work for fresh whole berries.

Just run them through the dishwasher and they are squeaky clean.  You will
get multiple uses out of them.

Save 2 liter pop bottles for freezing all of your cider and juices too.
Just leave plenty of expansion room in the bottles as water expands when
it freezes.
