Freeze your own fresh vegetables to enjoy during the winter.
Freezing fresh vegetables is the best way to enjoy your favourites year round. But do you know how to prepare them for the deep freeze? The following tips can help you keep your veggies their freshest while they're under ice.
Vegetables
Most vegetables can be frozen with excellent results. Prepare vegetables as directed below, then pack them snugly in resealable freezer bags or sturdy containers that can be tightly closed. The bags are ideal because they allow you to expel excess air, which prevents frost from accumulating, and to readily vary the portions from one serving to four. Once thawed, cook frozen vegetables, covered, in a small amount of boiling water. Don't refreeze.
