Freezing Egg Yolks

I have wondered long about freezing egg whites and yolks. I finally resolved from chow.com that egg whites can be saved in the freezer for 12 months. They said that egg yolks didn't freeze well. But, I read recently in Cooks Illustrated (which the Palo Alto library has a subscription to) that you can freeze egg yolks if you mix them with a sugar syrup.

The syrup is 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. I think this is by volume. Mix 3/4 teaspoon syrup with 4 egg yolks before freezing. Apparently this makes it so the yolks thaw well and are still good. I haven't tried this yet, but it is great to discover this tip!
