Have you ever found yourself with an abundance of ripe avocados and nothing to do with them?<\/p>\n
Me neither… there’s always<\/em> room for avocados on my menu.<\/p>\n But let’s just say, per chance<\/em>, that you have a handful or two of ripe avocados and you want to save some of that green goodness for non-peak California Avocado season. By properly freezing them, it’s possible to enjoy California Avocados all year long!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s actually quite simple to do.<\/p>\n Whole, sliced, diced, or mashed avocado are not very desirable when frozen. The best way to preserve and freeze an avocado is in a pureed form.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pureed avocados are perfect in guacamole dips, dressings, or even spread on sandwiches.<\/p>\n All you need are the ripe avocados, some limes, and a food processor or blender.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaking of avocados… have you entered your California Avocado recipe into the California Avocado Cinco de Mayo Recipe Fiesta Giveaway<\/a> yet? I’m giving away over $800 in cash and prizes<\/strong> on my site, and Rachel from A Southern Fairytale<\/a> is giving away over $800 in cash and prizes<\/strong> too!<\/p>\n The contest ends May 8th, so hurry up and submit your recipes before you miss out!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you have pureed your avocados with some lime juice, scoop the puree into a zip close bag. The easiest way to do this when you’re all by yourself is by putting the bag inside of a big cup and folding the top of the bag over the lip of the cup.<\/p>\n It’s like having a second pair of hands!<\/p>\n If only the cup did dishes too…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’re not a huge fan of lime with your avocados, try using lemon juice instead.<\/p>\n I’m going to share a fantastic recipe using some pureed avocados later this week, so make sure to check back for that!<\/p>\n
