FRESH PEAS AND BUTTER BEANS IN
WATER
 
Q. Can I freeze fresh peas and butter beans with out blanching them?

A. Yes, although it certainly is not the method recommended by the University of Georgia service peas of all kinds and butter beans freeze (like fresh) in water.

Wash, get ready to freeze. Put them into plastic freezer boxes. Fill with water to within a half inch of top. Put in freezer. South Georgia friends swear they taste exactly like fresh. I have been freezing them like this for years and love them.
