HOME ECONOMICS FOOTNOTES By Linda Caldwell, Home Econoinist BAJING NOW FOR CHRISTMAS If you're planning to bake ahead for 'the Christmas season, now is a good time to do it, suggest the food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. If you bake now and freeze the products, you can enjoy them later without any fuss. First decide what kinds and how many Christmas goodies you wish to make. Make sure there will be enough room in your freezer for what you've planned. Choose cookies, cakes and breads that freeze well. If you are in doubt about freezing a particular product, prepare a small batch first and freç,e it. Check the quality after two or three days. Proper packaging is very important to help maintain the best quality of the baked products. The packaging must exclude air and prevent loss of moisture. Cookies and squares can be packaged in freezer contain- ers such as plastic, aluminum or cardboard lined with a thick plastic coating or plastic liner. Plastic film placed between the layers of cookies helps keep them from being crushed or broken. Breads and cakes can be packaged in plastic freezer bags, plastic film or alumi- num foil. Where necessary, seal packages with freezer or masking tape to ensure a tight closure. If the cookies, cakes' or breads are quite sticky or have a frosting, freeze them before wrapping. Once frozen, wrap well. This will prevent the frosting from sticking to the wrapping. Always date the packages before freezing. For best quality, plan to use the baked goods within the recommend- ed storage times. Baked cookies can be stored for four months. Quick, breads, muffins and biscuits can be stored for one month, cakes or squares for four months, yeast breads for one month and fruit cake for nine months.
