can i freeze summer fruits and veges?

Not sure about avocado or asparagus but I did have a go at preserving sone plums and peaches a few years ago. I am pretty sure I cooked the peaches and froze them in a sugar syrup. It definitely wasn't as straightforward as just freezing them. I also preserved them in jars with a sugar syrup. Very fiddly but they did taste nice in the middle of winter!

I think I followed the advice in the Edmonds cookbook

You must be able to freeze avocado as Wattie's do a guacamole that is frozen don't they?

you can mashed avocado but not sure whole.
asparagus yes you can but you must par cook them first! so put into hot boiling water for like 3 or 4 minutes then place straight into ice cold water!
fruits like strawberry's, boysenberry's, blue berries, grapes (I cut in half and scrap the seeds out)
you can, I just put a whole lot into bag in the freezer for like smoothies etc. I just cut them into pieces to make it easier
Im not too sure about freezing stone fruit though. Id preserve them or make them into jam (you can freeze them if you are just gona make jam as they become quite mushy and watery)

I froze pureed avocado, it worked out alright... stone fruit Im not so sure about.. I ended up buying tinned food

I have seen avocado halves snap frozen

Fruit tend to defrost mushy. Which is fine if you're using them to stew up or something, but means you can't just defrost a plum and eat it like that. I tend to stew fruit first, then freeze it (technically, I guess I could save freezer-space by jarring it, but haven't done that before).
