Kitchen Tips
A few simple tips for cooking and storing Cherchies products!!
... Seasonings ... Keep Cherchies seasoning mixes fresh by storing them in your freezer (not the refrigerator). Take them out to use for your recipe, then back they go into your freezer.
... Soups ... If you're not going to cook up Cherchies soup mixes for a while, store them in your freezer to preserve shelf life.
Freeze your leftover soup in serving size portions. Microwave for a healthy lift-me-upper.
If concerned about the sodium contents of our soups, use only a portion of the seasoning packet in each soup mix. Then season with Cherchies No Salt Seasonings such as Garlic'n Herbs or use hot sauce or the fresh seasonings of your choice.
If you have had our soup mix in your cabinet for a prolonged period of time, the product is still good. However, the seasoning pack may have hardened, but it will dissolve in cooking. Also, the beans may take longer to cook.
... Mustard ... The heat in any hot mustard product diminishes over a period of time. To delay this from occuring, keep your unopened jar of Champagne Mustard in your refrigerator instead of your cabinet after purchase. Your mustard will stay hot for several months longer than if it were stored in your cabinet.
... Preserves and Jellies ... If your preserve or jelly crystallizes, heat briefly in your microwave WITH THE LID OFF. Stir. The heat will melt the sugar crystals which sometimes form. CAUTION: The jar will get hot so you must handle with care.
