RE: Avocados

I would love to know how well freezing works on avocados. Not that I have an
excess of avocados but hey, you never know when you'll make a new friend who
has a tree... Give it a try!

The California Avocado Commission--that's the growers' trade and hoopla
group--says you can freeze avocado puree. That's the only long-term
keeping technique they suggest. They say it makes nice sandwich spread.
Anyone ever done that or tasted the results thereof?

Ms Fatma hauled a dozen to school to share this AM; I've got another
dozen ripening in the kitchen, and there's probably 40 more on the
tree. An amazing year [tree produced maybe 10 last year].
