What can you FREEZE DIRECT?

Some produce can be frozen without any processing, including:

■ chillies and red/green peppers – cut in half, stem and seeds removed;

■ super sweet corn varieties, still in the husk (for kernels, see below);

■ tomatoes, whole – for use in casseroles;

■ berries – freeze on a tray, then transfer to a container to avoid frozen clumps.
