Hello all.

I am storing some carrots in sand again this year but I want to freeze some too.

What is the corect way to blanche carrots?

Many thanks.

Keep the faith.

Rictic.

I always peel them and then slice some and do the others as long crudites,  If you boil a pan of water and plunge them in and bring back to boil (doing small amounts at a time) then cool, bag and freeze (lots of freezers have a fast freeze button which works well if doing a lot)  Mine always last until I have fresh ones to pull!

Thanks for that link Mumofstig -- I have some runner beans to blanch in the morning and it saved me looking it up 
Encouraged my laziness
