You ran freeze it all in meal size packages, or serve part of it the same day and freeze the rest. For tiptop quality and economical use of freezer spare, plan to use pre rooked main dishes within two or three months. You ran, however, keep these foods, if properly packaged and stored, up to six months w ith o u t serious quality loss After that, the food won't be as tasty but it will still be safe to eat. Prepare the food just as you would if you were going to serve it right away. Do not overcook. In fart, some ingredients in main dishes that must be reheated for serving are better if slightly underdone when frozen. Pastry crusts are better if frozen un baked. They will be more tender, flakier, and have a fresher flavor than those 2 medium sized cucumbers 1 teaspoon salt I large clove of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice I or 2 teaspoons fresh hot pepper, seeded and finely chopped I ’eel cucumber and cut into halves lengthw ise.
