Fresh vegetables, straight from the garden, are one of the blessings of summer time! Produce just tastes different when the time between picking and eating is so brief.
When a friend offered her bumper crop of green beans to anyone willing to pick them, Laura jumped at the chance … but bringing home that five-gallon bucket of green beans meant eating some, giving more away, and still having left-overs.
What’s the solution when the bounty from the garden exceeds what you can use? Freezing them for winter, of course! Watch and learn Laura’s method of blanching fresh green beans before freezing to preserve their color and flavor, ensuring that you can enjoy the same deliciousness this winter that you did in the heat of July. You won’t believe how quick and easy it is!
