If you have extra green beans I will take some apple and pork weekend. I love to put them in my pressure cookerCarson Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400322925538859352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654641151101725193.post-64597076780985532812009-09-03T12:05:07.046-05:002009-09-03T12:05:07.046-05:00Rachel, you definitely can freeze broccoli!

It's pretty easy and i've done quite a bit: pick and cut broc into 3 inch or so pcs.,(wash first of course)-then boil some water and blanch(pop the broc in the boil. water bath and boil for about 4 min or so(count timer when h2o starts to re-boil after adding produce)-if you boil for 6 min that's ok too, just not too long). Then you just drain broc into colander and plunge into ice cold h2o for the same amt of time-drain and freeze! If you go online and google broc freezing, it tells a more accurate time(but I have to go to work, would you believe, and so don't have time to look the time in boil. bath up in a book)ha.<br />We planted a big fall garden and I am praying for rain! pinach, lettuces, etc plus buckwheat for cover crop in a few beds(to till in before frost and to enrich the soil).-JoanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
