cooling purees

[princessellie]

i have just made my first batch of carrot puree, it is sat on my side now in the ice cube trays, but i am very confused about storing it, i have read that i need to cool the foods before i freeze them, how do i do that? can i just put it in the fridge or do i just leave it on the side? surely leaving it on the side will make it go bad?

thanks

I leave it on the side until it cools hun, as long as it goes straight in the freezer as soon as its cool enough it should be fine x

I put some foil over the top while it is cooling... it does make you feel good when you do the purees....
