Blanching and Freezing Green Beans
Blanching and Freezing Green Beans
Wash the green beans in cold water.
Trim the ends and cut into smaller pieces.
Ready your pots. You’ll need one pot with boiling water; another with cold water and ice.
Blanch the beans for 3 minutes – just long enough to kill enzymes and bacteria.
Transfer beans to the ice water and cool for 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
Transfer the beans into a plastic freezer bag, label, and throw in the freezer. Done!
