Cin Chili - too HOT to freeze!!!

RRP

Yesterday I made a big ol' pot of Cin Chili not only for supper, but also to have some to freeze for future winter lunches. As it turned out I had 3 pints in individual Food Saver bags, so I put them in the freezer to harden before sealing them today. Guess what? The viscosity of that chili was thick, but not frozen - more like slush. I suppose that is due to the very high salt content of the Cin Chili mix, plus the salt in the added ingredients. Oh well, they are in there now along with a quart of Wild Boar Sauce that doesn't get hard either.

Try adding a little Viagra before sealing the bag . . .

I dare not go there.Only kidding but I have not been aware of that problem with to much salt in the mix before.With lots of sugar in a sauce I get that all of the time because I like a sweet sauce with soy and a whole lot of brown sugar in the mix and I always thought the excess brown sugar kept it in a (soft state.)

Everything freezes. Just get it cold enough.

Would dropping it in a bucket of liquid oxygen help???

My Cin Chili freezes just fine.

I don't add anything but beans.

What is the temp of your freezer?
