hi

I have some courgettes, swede and runner beans that will not be used up this week.

Does anyone know if I could chop them up and freeze them raw to cook at a later date?

Thanks,

Hayley

    Absolutely!
    I have a freezer full of courgettes, runner beans, swede, parsnips, mushrooms, raspberries, plums and cherries ready for when I need them.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    I would blanch the beans and chunks of swede, but not courgettes, which I just slice up and chuck straight in the freezer.
