I saw this article on NPR that advocated freezer jams for those who are afraid of canning. On one hand, I like the idea. I'm a big advocate of the freezer. On the other hand, this isn't just for those who are afraid of canning. Here are five reasons why I might prefer to make freezer jam over the alternative:

StillTasty is a potentially useful website that provides guidelines on how long your food will remain good to eat if kept in storage. It contains information on how long things will keep in the pantry, in the refrigerator, and in the freezer. It also contains storage tips.
Unfortunately, it doesn't contain individual citations indicating information sources. The only citation information that I see indicates that the information was gleaned primarily from a variety of U.S. government agencies.

Everyone has a weird pantry staple, something that they inexplicably always have on hand. Me? I always keep a bag of frozen spinach around.

Over the weekend, I realized that my vegetable scrap box was getting full, so I made some stock.
I also noticed that I had some frozen chicken bones, so I tossed those in and ended up with chicken soup for dinner.
Usually, when I make stock or soup I stash leftovers in freezer safe containers. This time, I reserved some and froze it in an ice cube tray.

Blueberries are generally considered a superfood. According to Kitchen Table Medicine, freezing blueberries increases the bioavailability of the antioxidant proanthocyanin. I'll still take fresh blueberries over frozen when they are available, but this is good news. Frozen blueberries are available year-round and reasonably tasty.
