Runner beans

Hi all...........just harvested my broad beans and peas which have been blanched, bagged & placed in the freezer, can I do the same thing with runner beans and for that matter, any other vegies? Kind regards Dave .

 

Would appreciate an answer to this post.........................Regards dave.

 

Yep, they'll freeze fine, same way, blanch them first

If you run out of freezer space you can salt them down in tubs

 

Thanks Zigs.....How about Parsnip, can they be blanched and frozen too? As for Turnips I expect that like Leeks, they can be left well into winter & picked as needed! This last year I had to pick the remainder of last years turnips to prepare the land for this years planting but they did not keep very long!!! How come turnips can be purchased all year round in the shops, are they somehow preserved in this country or are they imported continually? Regards Dave.

 

I know they use a modern equivalent of clamping to keep Carrots fresh, covering them with something till they're needed. Maybe they do with Turnips & Parsnips too

I have frozen parsnips before, mainly because the one i'd pulled was too big to eat all at once.
