Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans
- 6 cups water
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt
Instructions
- Wash the green beans under cool, running water. Trim the ends off if desired. You can leave the bottom on if you want but the top stems should be removed.
- Add the water and salt to a large stock pot and bring to a boil.
- Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it beside the stove.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water, stir, and cook until slightly tender but still crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a pair of long-handled tongs, remove the beans immediately from the pot and immerse them in the ice water.
- Remove from the ice bath and gently pat the beans dry with clean towels or paper towels.
- Transfer the beans to the freezer bags and line the beans up in the same direction. Label with the date. Remove as much of the air as possible, whether with a vacuum sealer or by pressing the air out of the bag gently with your hands, and seal the bag. Freeze and use within 6 months.
- To defrost simply remove from the freezer, open the bag slightly, and defrost in the fridge.
Notes
- You can use a vacuum sealer or simply put the beans in a freeze-safe bag and press as much air out as you can.
- Make sure the beans aren't in too thick of a layer in the bag.
