Good Evening - Hoping you and your family are doing well during this trying time of COVID - 19. Most of you received a crock pot at the training on 12/7/2019 at Wayman Chapel and we are passing along some additional recipes from Eva who did the training. Hope these come in handy while so many of us are staying home and cooking a bit more. Also, you will find instructions for blanching and freezing vegetables. We hope this information is helpful. Thanks Bill, MVOC

PS. We have been doing a weekly community conversation on zoom where we share information on food resources, trainings and other community related issues if you would like to join just send me a email and we can get you added to the conversation.

How to Freeze Vegetables

Blanching foods helps reduce quality loss over time. Blanching is also utilized to preserve color, flavor, and nutritional value.

Blanching Your Produce

1.	Use a pot that is big enough to fit your vegetables batches. 
2.	Prepare a large bowl of ice water <https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-make-an-ice-bath-908904> . If you are blanching multiple batches, you may need to replace the ice water - the hot vegetables will melt the ice. 
3.	You will also need large spoon or tongs to help remove vegetables from the boiling water.
4.	Add ¼ teaspoon salt to pot of water. Salt helps the flavor and helps green vegetables stay green in color.
5.	Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
6.	While the water is coming to a boil, rinse, trim, or chop vegetable.
7.	Once the water boils, put vegetable in the boiling water about 2 minutes. Remember you are not cooking vegetable.
8.	Drain or lift out the vegetables and transfer them to ice water - move vegetables around in the water until cool. Lay vegetables in a single layer on paper towels ( you can use clean kitchen towel) and let them air dry for 20 minutes . 
9.	Once vegetables are in your zip lock bags push the air out of your plastic bags so there is little chance of vegetables getting freezer burn.
10.	            10.Use a black marker to label each veggie bag date and name of vegetable.
11.	            11.You can store each bag on top of each other in your freezer – this will save space for other items.
12.	            12. <https://www.thespruceeats.com/fresh-vs-frozen-vegetables-1327661> Frozen vegetables will last up to a year in a stand-alone freezer and up to 6 months in a freezer that's attached to a refrigerator.
