Freezing Green Beans?!


Question:

Freezing Green Beans?

OK the big question is... Does it make a difference if you Blanche before freezing or not. Does it make a difference in the taste or the amount of time you can keep them in the freezer. If I can get good green beans this Winter out of the Freezer without Blanching then why go to the trouble of doing it. I really want to know what you think. Are people really not blanching anymore ? DeppLover if your out there what is your input ???


Answers:

Yes it is important here is an easy microwave way to do it.

GREEN BEANS: Stem freshly picked green beans; wash thoroughly; place 2 quarts in a glass casserole dish with 2 to 3 tablespoons water; microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes. Plunge into a cold water bath for 2 to 3 minutes, then place in 1 quart bags; freeze in same way as corn. When ready to serve, thaw; cook to boiling, then simmer for 25 to 30 minutes with little water; add seasonings, 1 tablespoon chopped onion and a slice of crisply fried bacon, broken up.
