Bounty

It seems like it takes forever for winter to be over, as you dream about fresh veggies from your garden.


Then BAM!  Summer is here and you have a bountiful abundance of veggies.


We eat fresh veggies from our garden every day, but there is always a larger harvest than we can eat.  I don't can, but I do freeze my extra veggies.  It is very simple to do.


Bring a large pot of water to boil.  Plunge in fresh green beans and boil for 3 minutes.

Immediately plunge them into a large bowl of ice water and let set for 3 more minutes.


Drain on a kitchen towel and then place in a freezer bag.  Label and date and throw into the freezer.  This winter, you can pull them out and boil for a few minutes, top with butter and pine nuts and remember how lovely summer was.


Do you can or freeze veggies?
