Sorrel freezing
For freezing use a young sorrel with gentle leaves of the saturated green colour, collected before formation of flower arrows. A sorrel freeze the whole leaves. It is possible to cut also sorrel leaves large slices.
Before freezing the sorrel needs to be washed out carefully in a considerable quantity of cold water. Then at sorrel leaves cut off green cuttings, large leaves cut on 2-3 parts. After that a sorrel lower in boiling water and scald about 1 minute. For blanching it is necessary to take waters as small as possible – exactly so much that it has covered all sorrel. At blanching the set of nutrients gets into water from a sorrel and the more there will be waters, the more than valuable properties will lose a sorrel.
