Freezing Celery image

My Mom taught me what to do when your celery gets rubbery. I used to just toss it, but if you put it in a jar or vase (I use a ceramic pitcher) full of water it looks brand new again. Sometimes I leave the celery standing up like that in the fridge (just cut off the bottom so it is easier to stand), or put it on the counter in water for 30 minutes or so before you use it for the same effect. Today I decided I wanted to freeze celery, but I didn't know if it was possible. I found it it was possible on thriftyfun.com Once frozen, you won't want to eat it raw but it will be ready for cooked dishes.

This is a great way to use up leftover celery. I always have some on hand in the freezer for when I need it.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The celery was mushy and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is a great recipe! I've been using it for years and it always turns out perfectly. The celery is always crisp and flavorful, and it's a great way to preserve celery for later use.
