PUG BREAD
Supermarket plastic produce bags provide an efficient and economical way to
wrap and store your pug breads. If you need more than you usually end up with
after grocery shopping, ask the produce manager at your favorite store to sell
you a roll (most rolls have about 1250 bags and can be purchase for under $15.)
"Cash & carry" institutional grocery outlets are another source
for you.
Single bagging (sideways) works good for refrigerated pugs:
*Tip: When you first bag and place your pug in the refrigerator, leave the
bag slightly open overnight to let excess moisture escape. (We also do this step
before we move them to the freezer).
DOUBLE bagging (sideways) works good for freezing pugs (try to expel all
the air.)
Pug breads made with honey will last up to 10 days non refrigerated @ 70°
F or up to 4 weeks in the refrigerator (preferred method). We have held
frozen pugs (made with honey) for up to 8 months with excellent results.
We prefer to keep our "working loaf" of pug bread in the refrigerator and slice it as
needed.
GRANOLA
There are many ways to pack your granola. The easiest would be to leave it
in the 5 gal mixing pail you used to make it. One inexpensive packing idea
is to obtain some empty No.10 cans from a local restaurant (these are large
"tin cans" that restaurants, hospitals, schools, etc. discard after
using their contents (canned fruits, vegetables, sauces, etc)). If you have a
little computer skill and a "desktop publishing" program, you can make some great looking labels to paste or tape on the cans (go to the FANCY
WRAPS page to see some ideas). The problem here is finding a lid for the
cans: there is a link on the "Fancy Wraps" page for purchasing some.
Glass 1 gal jars work ok (except for possible breakage) and are sometimes
available from restaurants, etc. like the No.10 cans.
We like to store our 5 gal batches of granola in square plastic 1 gal jars (5
each).
It is best to keep your packages of granola in a cool dark location away from
excess heat or light. We have had excellent results keeping 1 gal jugs for up to 8
months (this does not apply to variations of the EZ Trails recipe using
"NON HONEY" type sweeteners).
Note:
A No. 10 can holds a little less granola than a 1 gal jar (a 5 gal batch of
granola will fill 6-7 cans depending upon the amount of add-ins you use (dried
fruits/nuts)) and how much you compact your fill.
