Screw the lid on tight.<\/p>\n<p>When the jars are cool, they can go into your freezer \u2013 use when you feel like some nice fresh veg but within a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Let the jar defrost slowly when you take it out of the freezer and then finish cooking the veg in a microwave or a pan of boiling water.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are lots of other foods that can go to waste. If you have children or teenagers who eat half a tin of baked beans and leave the rest, pop the leftovers into a jam jar and into the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>And definitely don\u2019t waste that delicious gravy from the Sunday roast. Anything that can be frozen can be frozen in glass \u2013 including Christmas cake.<\/p>\n<p>Or if you\u2019re feeling adventurous, try some of this delicious recipe from Friends of Glass for a pudding that uses up leftover fruit: It can be frozen \u2013 if you can resist it that long!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Strawberry and banana smoothie<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Serve in an attractive glass jar- this is enough for 1 portion.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>1 medium banana (peeled), 200g ripe washed strawberries, 150g natural yoghurt, 1 tablespoon runny honey.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Blitz strawberries in a liquidizer until smooth, add the rest of the ingredients plus a few ice cubes, and continue to blend until smooth.
