  • Best way to store runner/french beans

    We are currently blanching our beans for 60-90 secs in boiling water and then refreshing them under cold water, drying and then freezing them; however they are still watery when re-heated either in boiling water or in the microwave. Antone out there have a better way of doing it?

    I don't blanche them PCGreenthumb. I spread them on a tray, put in freezer til frozen, tip into a freezer bag and clip closed. They keep perfectly well and I cook them from frozen. Same for other vegetables. I believe some other Grapes do the same.

    From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

      I don't blanch. Just prepare as if for cooking, put into portion sized plastic containers, or open freeze as Alice says. Much better texture on cooking than if you blanch.

        Ah thanks for tips - I need to harvest again today! Will freeze them ready for cooking as I always believed you had to blanche first also.
