My self congratulations on this solution may be premature when SWMBO
works out what I've done, but by then it will be done so I'm not
caring too much !!

I'm retired - she isn't - so many mornings when I get up after she's
set of for work, I find a billet-doux on the breakfast table
containing some task she's dreamt up.

This morning it was to stew a lot of wind fall / reject apples and
freeze them. Problem has always occurred in the past that the volumes
frozen are too large and when unfrozen the apple goes to waste, so
what could I find that would overcome this. I put off the task for
inspiration till lunchtime when a chance visit to the greenhouse
produced the solution - flowerpots with a bit of Al foil in the
bottom, after a good washing of course.

Result is perfect - the 3" square ones hold 6 oz and a bigger round
ones (4"+?) hold 12 oz. I just need now to get them frozen, remove
the pots and store the resulting shapes in a poly bag before SWMBO
finds out.

It's a man's world to find solutions like that!
