Green Beans in the Freezer


The veggies just keep coming. About every other day we pick several baskets full. After sharing with our neighbors, we still had a heaping basket of green beans. So, we decided to put some in the freezer.
We snapped off the ends and blanched the beans for two minutes in boiling water.

We shocked them in ice water for a few minutes until they were cold.


Then we drained them, dried them and put them into freezer bags. Its a lot of work and I am sure glad hubby was helping. But now they are ready to pull out sometime this winter and we will certainly be thankful!
