Look out the runner beans are coming!
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? Mike .................................................. ......................... "Broadback" wrote in message ... 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. |

In article , david@abacus-
nurseries.co.uk says... "Broadback" wrote in message ... 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. Ours have just started; one picking so far that (only) just fed six. Lots of old flower stems with no pods :-( Who remembers salting them down in Kilner Jars? my MIL did that (in the 60's/70's) and they looked and tasted hideous. Janet |

"David Hill" wrote in message ... Who remembers salting them down in Kilner Jars? My grandfather used to do this and always came round on Christmas Day with a jar as his present to us. As long as you flushed them well in cold running water for a few minutes before cooking them they weren't too bad. |

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. -- David in Normandy. |
