This may be a stupid question but i guess I'm after confirmation and moral support as much as any thing.
Is it ok to make up a pie filling (savoury) and freeze it ahead of making the actual pie?

Also I heard/read somewhere that you can make and freeze your stuffing for christmas ahead of time. Is this true. Do you think it would effect the taste?
Would make life that much easier if I could do this.

Thanks guys.

Freezing your pie filling beforehand will be just fine - I've done it with fish pie, and shepherds pie with no adverse affects. Probably best to let it thaw before topping it though, otherwise the frozen and unfrozen will cook at different rates.

I allways freezr stuffing for christmas and leftovers, work too much around that time so any quick cheats i need.

This is for sage and onion not sure on other kinds.

Shouldn't be a problem Missy Moo. I freeze bits of cake as well if I'm short of airtight tin space and in fact anything I can. Some things don't have a long freezer life but if you are making now for Christmas I wouldn't worry.

Excellent! I just found out my sister in law and family are coming over for the christmas period. If I can get some stuff done now my life will be sooooo much easier later!

Thanks guys!!

As a general rule missy moo, you can freeze somthing raw, cook it and refreeze it, cook it and eat it, so you can freeze once in raw state, and freeze once again cooked, but then you have to eat it, or throw it. obviously freezing twice only works well with "wet" dihes, so pie filling should be fine.
