HELP! I am coming into a bushel of green beans, any ideas how to freeze? Is it easy as putting in a freezer bag and that's it? ANy hints?n
Catlady will probably come on eventually and tell you exactly how many minutes to blanch.Thanks, that is what I thought, blanch and freeze. I might get the whole bushel instead of half then. I love them beans!
Appreciate it..

We had a HUGE garden when I was growing up (about an acre?)... I got a lot of practice freezing veggies (a long time ago, now!).

Tomorrow is the last day before school starts. We will be getting the veg tomorrow morning. I offered to come and help pick (the kids would love that) but she has a neighbor who does it all quite efficiently. You call and order and he heads over and picks them all.YellowSocks said:Catlady will probably come on eventually and tell you exactly how many minutes to blanch.

Blanch...that's the word that I couldn't think of when I was running out the door!!!Clean, chop (if you want them chopped), blanch, drain, freeze (leave a little headspace in your container). Blanch = dip quickly in already boiling water so they are barely cooked, but still crunchy.

Yep and it is an important step. It stops the aging enzymes of the vegetable so it will be fresher tasting.Blanch...that's the word that I couldn't think of when I was running out the door!!!Clean, chop (if you want them chopped), blanch, drain, freeze (leave a little headspace in your container).
