Step 1

First, make some homemade pierogi!

Step 2

Once all the pierogi are assembled, line them up. Find a tray that would fit into your freezer and grease it with some oil.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring water into a boil. Once boiling, drop a few pierogi in and cook for 30 seconds. Then remove them with a slotted spoon and place onto a tray. Make sure that pierogi are not touching. Continue blanching until you’re out of dumplings.

Step 4

Wait for pierogi to cool. Place them in the freezer. After 2 hours you can move them into a freezer-friendly bag. Label it with the product’s description and today’s date. Store for up to 3 months.

Step 5

To reheat frozen pierogi, bring a large pot into a boil. Drop some dumplings in and wait for them to float. Once floating, reduce the heat slightly and add half a glass of cold water. Cook until the water starts boiling again.

Step 6

Remove pierogi from the pot one by one with a slotted spoon. Serve immediately with a touch of butter and toppings of your choice. you can crisp them up by frying, baking or grilling (more about it in the post on how to cook pierogi)
