Freeze PDF"s

[Chocolot]

Just wondering if they can be frozen. In Shotts book, he has you freeze for a short time to make handling easier, but I am wondering if you can freeze the finished product without having them weep. Also, in one of my resources it says to use pectin that is not more than 6 months old. What happens after that time?

I believe that I recall seeing in one of the other treads, perhaps a post by 'David J' that you can indeed freeze the pates de fruits without any problem. I haven't tried this, as yet.

It may be that his special pectin, Pectin 'g,' will spoil after 6 months, perhaps no longer allowing the PdFs to set properly; however, for regular pectin this is not a problem.

I hope not, I've had mine for over a year and still have quite a bit left. It still works fine though, used it yesterday.

I've just started freezing me recently, so I don't know long term effects if any. I will keep you posted.
