I agree about beans being frozen - they go very soggy and lose their
flavour - does anyone out there know how to successfully freeze runner
beans
so that they still retain a "bite"?

Cut beans and put them into just enough boiling water to cover them.
Bring back to the boil and seeth for two and a half minutes. Cool the
beans in the water and put beans into freezer bags. Add the water you
blanched them in, knot bags and freeze.


gosh it is many years since I heard the expression 'seeth'
