How do you keep the Sunkist Fruit Gems from getting sticky in hot weather? Can you freeze them and that before serving?

I did notice they were slightly sticky and the youngest kids had a hard time opening them. I may take your idea of freezing a few to see what happens. They would be refreshing that way too.

If food is stuck on you can put water in the pan and reheat it. Another way to keep food from sticking is to heat the pan before you add oil. I like to scour the pans with Cameo Stainless Steel cleaner. They will look new if you use Cameo, Barkeepers Friend doesn't work as well but is better than nothing. If you remove the oxidation each time food doesn't stick as much.

Thanks for the replies. Haven't had good results freezing store bought hot dog buns but hopefully these will keep better. I had the same thought about using foil. Haven't used the pan yet but may try a half recipe after the first one, that fifth one can always go to the birds, lol.

If I got your question right, there are two pieces and each has an additional net for change, beside that in the cup there is liquid and it may be put in a fridger. In hot weather we did it couple times. This way fruites dont get spoiled longer.

We have filled the case with frozen prepared food along with frozen gel packs and driven to the beach. The beach is about 5 hours away. We have successfully transferred the still frozen food to a freezer. We prefer to use the cooler for refrigerated picnic foods. We fill the cooler and place gel packs on top of the food and keep the food cold. We have had an issue with the bottom board in the cooler. After a few uses, some of the seams can open exposing the insulation. Suggest you enclose the board in a large plastic bag.

I haven't tried cucumber with mine yet. The inside is relatively squishy compared to zucchini. When I make pickles, I put the cucumbers in a bowl and cover them in a layer of salt. Let them sit overnight, and the salt draws some of the moisture out. Rinse them off and give them a try in the slicer. That's the only thing I can think of. Unless you want to try to semi-freeze them before slicing.

Just speaking from my personal experience, I live in a humid climate (Florida). I can make mine and leave it out for up to 3 weeks and sometimes when I go back to check on them, they are still a bit soft. Even gum paste. Florida climate is really super hard to live in and make good gum paste or fondant decorations. It's also hard to ice a cake here too. ugh :( The frosting melts!

I put mine in the ice cube bin in my freezer to "frost" them so I can put cold drinks in them in the summertime.....I have never had a problem with them doing this.

Hello J. Tullier!I'd think any of those would be fine.....think of them as a raisin....which could be stored all 3 ways w/the freezer extending the life the best!

I cut down on sugar considerably in my recipe. To keep it from freezing solid I use a product called Cremodan, available here on Amazon. It's a mix of gums and other stabilizers, and you only need a little in each batch. My froyo still freezes very firm (my recipe is also very low fat), but it's not fully solid so I can still scoop off the top with a good scoop.

Depending where you live and how humid it is and if you keep it closed tightly probably at least a year. They will harded. If they get to Hard I microwave them just a little. This is my favorite dried fruit. I will order more if amazon has them in. I have eaten 2 bags.

i keep ours frozen, making it last longer. Ask the Udi people what they recommend.

Actually it can be frozen. I've been doing that for years. When I get a 5 lbs. wheel, I cut it into the size wedges I want(usually 8 oz) wrap each wedge in film and freeze. Maybe my tastebuds are not as sophisticated as some others, but it works for me. The texture and flavor seems the same to me.

They are dry, no need to freeze, and keep a very long time. Store them carefully because they are brittle and over time some may crack. They are still useable, but your summer rolls won't come out as pretty

I just wanted to add that I have used baby foods - all stages, mostly fruits - they freeze fine without added water. You only need to run under hot water to loosen the mold and then apply even and steady pressure as you pull it out slowly.

I actually haven't tried freezing these, but I imagine, since they are coated, they would do well in the freezer, and wouldn't pose a problem with moisture as the breads defrosted. Good luck, I hope it works out well!

Hi Laura, I have discovered I have to be sure not to fill to top and make sure the tops snap on/ and the trick is that nothing else in freezer knocks them over be fore they freeze, I had not yet frozen orange juice all over one time/ so understand your question / they stand up fantastic in the holder, after frozen I place in plastic bag and add more as I have 3 sets of these love them,
