Storing and Freezing your edible fruit baskets: Fruit baskets from Harvey's Groves arrive at their peak of freshness, and will remain fresh for several days. For best results, you should keep your edible fruit basket’s contents in plastic bags and/or in the vegetable compartment of the fridge. Your edible fruit baskets can also be frozen, although it isn’t recommended that you freeze the whole fruit, just the fresh squeezed juice and grated peel. Confused about the proper way to peel your edible fruit basket gifts? Read on for tips.
There are a few basic ways to peel fruit, but the two most common are round peeling and segmented peeling. Round peeling involves using a sawing motion to cut the outer peel away from the fruit in a single spiral. After this outer peel is cut away, simply cut along the curve of the fruit, lengthwise, to fully cut away the white membrane surrounded the fruit itself. With the segmented peeling method, the only tool that you need are your hands and, if you desire, a small citrus peeler. Simply pull the fruit apart along its natural dividing lines, taking care not to tear and gouge the delicate membrane.
After you have properly peeled and frozen the contents of your edible fruit basket, you can use the peels for various applications, including enhancing the flavor in recipes, to make your own citrus potpourri, and much more. Why not try making some tasty citrus fudge, delectable orange juice popsicles, tasty citrus flavored entrees, or try your hand at crafting your own citrus candles or potpourri? Harvey’s Groves prides itself on delivering the freshest, most high quality product, and we know that however you decide to use your citrus fruits; you will be pleased with the results. The possibilities for the contents of your edible fruit basket are limited only by your imagination.
