It has been so hot in Utah as well as other places in the USA. But besides the heat the garden is doing well. I’ve been watering the garden 2 to 3 times a week depending on what the plants need. I’ve been putting up a few more bags of Peas and now this is the first of the Green Beans
Freezing Green Beans
In my earlier blog we put up peas for the freezer. Now, we are doing the Green Beans. You will need to snip the green beans and cut or break them in the desired style.
*Blanch the Green Beans by bringing them to a boiling point and boil them for 7 minutes in a stainless steel Stock Pot of water.
*Cool down Green Beans Quickly in a bowl of ice water. If doing large batches of Green Beans you will need more bowls of ice water.
*Drain off water from the Green Beans and place in Ziploc freezer bags. I like the Pint size.
*Remove air from the Ziploc bag, with a straw, close bag and freeze.
See freezer peas if you need more instructions, also see pictures below.
