Ok, I accept that I am not the sharpest tool in the box, so what does
blanch for 1 minute actually mean?

1)Plunge the subject into boiling water then leave for 1 minute
2)Plunge into boiling water with heat on high, leave for 1 minute
3)Plunge into boiling water, bring back to boil and boil for 1 minute

Love to know.
TIA

Immerse (vegetables etc.) briefly in boiling water. Whiten (a plant) by
depriving it of light.
