Abstract

A method of preparing food stuffs such as pie or tart fillings comprises preparing the materials which include solid or semi-solid constituents 15 such as fruit, and a liquid content 16, 17, and filling these into temporary containers 14 in which they are frozen. The frozen masses are then ready for use, being placed in pastry or other final containers while still in their frozen state. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Food preparation method This invention relates to a method of preparing foods, such as fruit or vegetables, for use in items such as pies, tarts or other products in which a filling is placed in a pastry or other casing, which may also be edible.
Traditionally, fruits or the like are prepared by peeling, coring or whatever is appropriate and they are then placed, with other ingredients, in the pastry or other casing shortly prior to sale and consumption.
Deep freezing methods enable such finished products to be produced in quantity by factory or mass production methods but the finished products are not always convenientto handle and also plant which is suitable forfruit preparation may have no facilities for pastry production or vice versa. Also, there is a section of the market which requires only small quantities to be fully prepared at one time, to avoid items from becoming stale.
To enable this to be accomplished it is usual to supply the fruit and other ingredients in bulk, these being placed in the pastry or other case as and when required, but this can lead to poor presentation, mess and waste, and is also time consuming atthe point of sale.
It is the object of this invention to provide a method of preparing foods which enables mass production procedures to be followed and in which the preparation of the finished product is simple and quickand good presentation can be reliably achieved.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method of preparing foods comprising preparing the raw materials, including solid or semisolid constituents and a proportion of a liquid content, filling these in temporary containers and then freezing the combined materials, in theirtemporary containers.
In use the product prepared by this method can be stored until ready for use, in frozen condition and then, when required, it is removed from thetem- porary container, still frozen and inserted into a pastry or other final container, ready for sale or con- sumption.
Pie ortartfillings or other products including pastry or other edible cases can be prepared in this way. It is possible by this method to arrange fruit or otherfood in an attractive way prior to freezing and decorative effects can be maintained to the point of sale or consumption.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows multiple containers for use in the method according to the invention; Figure2showsoneofthecontainerswith afruit filling; and Figure 3shows the fru it filling placed into a prepared pastry or other container to make up the finished product.
Figures 1 to 3 show stages in the production of a tart or pie made with a fruit, such as raspberries and additional ingredients such as fruit pulp, juices, cream or other filling material. Many combinations of foods can be treated in the manner to be described.These areto be inserted into small, individual pastry shells or cups.
Figure 1 shows a one piece tray 13 which includes a number of individual containers 14formed by dep- ressions. One of these containers is also shown in Figure 2. The container assembly may be constructed from a thin plastics or other suitable material to which fruit or other food stuffs will not readily adhere.
As shown in Figure 3 each small individual con tainer isfilled with fruit 15 and other liquid orsemiliquid fruit substances 16 and the whole assembly is coated with a thin layer of a gel 17. Any desired combination oaf fruit or other substances can be used but sufficient liquid content should be included to enable the whole assemblyto become a solid coherent mass upon freezing. When all the individual containers 14 are filled the assembly is frozen.
When required for use, the individual fillings are removed from their temporary containers 14, while still in their frozen condition. Therefore while each is a solid mass they are placed, as shown in Figure 2, into individual prepared pastry or other cups 18.
Only then is the finished product allowed to defrost, readyforsale or consumption.
Any combination offruit, vegetable or other food substances which are suitable for freezing can be handled in this way.
The temporary containers used during assembly and prior to freezing may be of any convenient shape or size and in certain circumstances may onlycomprise a flat sheet onto which the fruit and combination of substances is laid.
The complete frozen assemblies can be used in a numberoffinished products including pies, tarts or other fruit products of which the container is edible orto other food stuffs in which there is no final edible container. Decorative effects produced on assembly aretherefore retained until sale orcqnsumption.
The shapes ofthe containers may be ofanydes- ired kind. In some instances, the assembly offruit and other substances may have an upwardly, inwardly inclined side edge. By this means, the fruit and substances may be neatly surrounded by cream or other different food product, while still in frozen state and the risk of mixture ofthe fruitjuiceswith the cream or other product, is minimised. In this example, the assembly as prepared by this method may be only a relatively small part of a complete finished product. The shape ofthetemporary container is such asto produce the required shape ofthefruit and other ingredients assembly.
1. A method of preparing foods comprising preparing the raw materials, including solid, or semisolid constituents, and a proportion of a liquid content, filling these constituents and said liquid content into a plurality of temporary containers and then freezing the combined materials in theirtemporary containers to form respective coherent masses.
