Cook’s tip!

  • Line a baking pan or oven tray with baking paper. Wash and dry fruits (or vegies), then chop or slice into uniform pieces.
  • Spread pieces in a single layer on prepared pan or tray. Freeze until firm, at least one hour.
  • Once frozen, pack in freezer-safe containers or reusable silicone pouches. Label with type of produce, amount and date. Frozen fruit keeps for up to three months.

Do lemon and blueberry go together?

Lemon and blueberry go together quite well! The bright, tangy flavour of lemon complements the sweet, slightly tart taste of blueberries. Together they create a refreshing, balanced smoothie and the pairing can be found in desserts and baked goods. If you’re looking to try something new and fresh, lemon and blueberry are the combo!
