Ours have been working overtime for a couple of weeks now, but the
question is, 'How do you freeze Runner Beans so they taste that good
when thawed out and cooked later?' We will soon be having too many on a
daily basis.

We have tried blanching, picking young (which we do in any case), not
blanching ................. every combination. Any tips please?

I have just picked the first of my runner beans, Once they start they
never stop! The freezer will be working overtime the next few weeks.

I might have a go at drying some. My mother always sliced them thin and
left them on sheets of newspaper to dry in the airing cupboard until
they were all shrivelled up then stored them in Kilner jars. They kept
for years. They just needed soaking prior to cooking. They kept a fair
amount of flavour but never quite expanded to their original size.
