Foods that can be kept in freezer

•     Butter can be frozen for up to 8 months without any change in texture. Wrap butter in its original wrapper and try to use as quickly as possible for the best results. 

•     Pasta can be frozen, although as it doesn't take very long to cook, it is probably better to cook it when needed from the packet. However, large baked pasta dishes such as lasagne or cannelloni do freeze well and can be stored for 2 - 3 months in the freezer.

•     Most fruits maintain high quality for 8 to 12 months at 0 degrees F or below. Do not wash blueberries and blackberries. Take out stems before freezing them.

•     Citrus fruits and citrus juices may be stored satisfactorily for 4 to 6 months, place it in ice cube trays for future convenience.

• Packaged shredded cheese can be kept frozen for about 3 months, but may lose some of its texture and flavor; the thawed cheese will be best suited to cooked dishes, such as sauces, soups and casseroles.
