Shelled a bushel of peas last night and gonna blanch them today. (I swear every year, I'm going to buy me one of those pea shellers--fingers hurt this morning)
I've always just blanched 'em for 90 seconds, cooled them, filled a qt freezer bag and dropped 'em in the freezer but have read where some say they keep better if you blanch, cool, put them in the bag and then add water, then freeze them.
I've also got a couple doz of the Rubbermaid 1 qt plastic containers I could use.
Does it make any difference?
