Give the bag a good shake after a few days and they will remain separated. I use the dwarf varieties for flavour and volume~~ also freedom from blackfly. Blanched vegetables I find quite unappetising~ Brussels~ horrible!! Best Wishes Brian. |

The message
from "pammyT" fenlandfowl @talktalk.net contains these words: I have always frozen my beans and have never blanched them. Give the bag a good shake after a few days and they will remain separated. I use the dwarf varieties for flavour and volume~~ also freedom from blackfly. Blanched vegetables I find quite unappetising~ Brussels~ horrible!! Same here. Never blanched a thing in my life. I don't blanch fruit, but all other veg get the treatment. I generally fry mushrooms before freezing them: since most of the flavour is fat-soluble, I can take them out, slice/dice/chop them and add them straight to casseroles, etc. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

In article , Robert
writes Does anyone know if you can get away without blanching broad beans please? Yes, we never freeze them. Take them young while their skins are still tender and freeze them asap after picking. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

The message
from Pam Moore contains these words: On Sun, 19 Jun 2005 19:40:27 +0000 (UTC), "Peter Stockdale" wrote: "Alan Gould" wrote in message ...

However, if you allow for a senior moment, just substitute 'blanch' for the first 'freeze'. Personally, I would never freeze any vegetable without blanching: there are some (food poisoning) bacteria which may be present in vegetables which will multiply even at freezer temperatures. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
