Months later they taste fresh from the garden.

You don't need to blanch it- they say it is done just to save the flavor. -check out pick-your-own.org. It will tell you how to do just about any type of preserving.

Take the squash out of the oven and immediately put squash and cookie sheet in the freezer. Take out after about 15 minutes an bag the squash. she says the squash are not as soggy. She frys them in winter months. Posted on 07/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Squash and Green Beans By I. Sue (Guest Post) I tried freezing yellow squash a new way. I sliced and spread in a single layer in microwave and cooked for 45 seconds. Remove and cool. Place in freezer on cookie sheet in single layer until frozen - then bag. This way you can take out the amount you want to cook. I do not freeze green beans. I can them in the pressure cooker.

(Guest Post) Thank you Posted on 05/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Squash and Green Beans By Amanda (Guest Post) What if you don't blanch the squash first? We have our first garden and we didn't know it had to be blanched before freezing and we have just been washing it, cutting it up, and freezing it. Will it still be edible?? :-( Posted on 07/06/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Squash and Green Beans By sab (Guest Post) what if you just freeze fresh green beans without blanching first. Will they be ok? Posted on 03/25/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Squash and Green Beans By Steve Woods (Guest Post) Almost every method of freezing summer squash says to blanch it. My wife (she grew up on a farm) ignores this advice. She washes it, slices it, and puts it in zip-close freezer bags. Nothing more. Saves energy and doesn't unnecessarily heat up the kitchen. My guess is that blanching the squash is what takes the flavor out of it. Ours is always tasty just as if it had come straight out of the garden.

It works! Keep in mind no way tastes like fresh picked and cooked immediately.

However. I raise improved pinto beans and pick and snap them when they are young and just start to plump. I then blanch them, let them dry a little, freeze them on cookie sheets and package them in vaccum seal bags. They have been delicious three years later, cooked with smoked pork bits, onions and seasoning. Hope this helps.

Then cut them up however you wish. Place in freezer bags and freeze. I do not blanch them as it seems to make them mushy when thawed. I hope this will be some help to you Posted on 06/11/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Squash and Green Beans By ThriftyFun (3107) Profile Blog! Contact Squash once it hardens does pretty well just keeping it in a cool, dry place. It will keep for a long time that way. If you choose to freeze green beans it's best if you blanch them first, then lay them out on a cookie sheet in the freezer till they are frozen and bag. They retain the best flavor that way. - Susan Posted on 09/05/2002 | Report Spam or Abuse
