Freezing
Mashed Jerusalem artichoke freezes remarkably well, preserving its creamy texture and delightful flavor. Allow the mash to cool completely, then portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible. For best results, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of liquid if needed. While freezing is excellent for preservation, some minor texture changes might occur upon thawing.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or fermented odor emanating from the mash.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
- A slimy or overly watery texture, indicating bacterial activity.
