Wrapping up storage

Now I have most packed up for long term storage to use as and when needed. Just a few more items need to be addressed.

Fresh spinach wont last long in it’s original bunch if you just lay it in the crisper or leave it bunched up. What I didn’t use for the salad I treat as fresh flowers, trim the stems and put in a vase, or glass of water, change the water regularly and it will keep a week or so depending on environmental factors.

Make sure the stems are long enough to reach the water, use any short stemmed leaves up first.

Commercial breads last a good amount of time, my sourdough loaf I will just keep in the fridge, but the English muffins are easily frozen and go great right into the toaster for use.

Remove all English muffins from the sleeve and wrap individually.

Place each wrapped English muffin back into the original packaging, twist, tie and into the freezer to use as needed.

Celery is very underrated, no one thinks about it much, and many don’t even buy it anymore, but it is used in most cuisine as a base for sauces, adds great crunch to salads, is part of the mireproix of French cuisine. It is high in fiber, and a natural meat tenderizer. The leaves can stand in for parsley as a garnish, rather similar in taste. Properly stored it will last a long time in the crisper drawer of the fridge.
