I just let them sit in ACV for a few minutes to clean them up, snip off the ends, let them dry, toss them in a ziplock and freeze. I also do this the rest of my garden veggies and herbs with no problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082017257136440753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977483836573978520.post-80803024069307240962014-07-29T23:19:12.203-04:002014-07-29T23:19:12.203-04:00Growing up with my dad's large backyard garden...Growing up with my dad's large backyard garden, I spent a lot of time blanching and freezing fresh produce. I always love time and effort-saving tips so I look forward to trying this method. Thank you for sharing these tips with us at the Plant-Based Potluck Party Blog Hop!

We had to cook them 3 times as long and smother them with sauces to make them edible. I've blanched ever since. I hope you have better luck than me.Phoenix Helixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470521865696647536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977483836573978520.post-16596041394956866092014-07-29T08:30:01.077-04:002014-07-29T08:30:01.077-04:00My late MIL taught me to freeze without blanching....My late MIL taught me to freeze without blanching. It always worked for me and I think green beans were the veggies I froze most often. When my in-laws had a huge garden, I frozen so much each year and really enjoyed the vacuum seal gadget I purchased. Now I'm not freezing nearly as much and just use a Ziploc bag most of the time. Btw, you might have had a straw you didn't think of, Judee ... if you have any type of personal water bottle, most of those come with built in straws. ;-) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br />Shirleygfe--gluten free easilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977483836573978520.post-3672363072393577092014-07-28T16:23:52.591-04:002014-07-28T16:23:52.591-04:00Pinned this, great information.

While ...I will have to pass this tip on to my dad. While I garden, I don't have enough space to grow enough to save. We eat as I harvest. My dad, however, has a huge garden for just two people. He goes through the blanching step...and he'd probably be happy to know he doesn't have to! <br /><br />Growing up, I watched my mom use a straw to vacuum seal many things she put in the freezer. For some reason, it always made me laugh!Michelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377795706095031064noreply@blogger.com
