That's the sort of opinion that is very valuable
I've not tried to freeze green beans or the like yet. This year I am growing "yard long beans" and was wondering how I could preserve them. Was thinking perhaps doing some sort of pickling and then canning. Hmm. Maybe pickling then freezing?
I do grow tomatoes, so might want to learn to "put up sauce." However, in the past, I have frozen the tomatoes whole, with the stems removed. They work "ok" but I imagine having pints of sauce or salsa would be much better. Just not sure if I am physically able to attempt it. All I can picture is trying to lift a huge pot of boiling water and carry it from the stove to the sink.
