I put them in the freezer in our garage... they are froze This threw me for a loop when I opened the freezer door and saw it, never had it do this before.

Do I thaw them out and added them to syrup I am boiling? Or say screw it !!! and give them to the Neighbors lol
Its worth remembering that syrup with a brix lower than 66 can possibly spoil if not kept refrigerated.

I totally agree Karen, a very welcome respite.
