New and grateful South Georgia (Albany ) subscriber ! I watched your video as I blanched and put up my Cream 40 Peas💚. THANK YOU Anna! It was absolutely wonderful to listen to a fellow Georgian on You Tube !!!!
"Retired construction welder". Moved in with Mom when she got lung cancer. I do all the cooking/cleaning. I have a day job and have started learning to garden. I bought peas this year. Growing 'maters, squash, eggplant, and okra. peas next year. I paid $36 for a bushel of white peas here in Abbeville Alabama. This will be my first year freezing and canning. Wish me luck! Great video.
Thank you for this! I am blanching peas this morning for the first time. I loved your big stock pot and drainer idea so I did that too. It made things so much more efficient!
Got 2 huge bags of peas from one of our local farmers markets. So I am blanching peas this morning, thank you for this vid!! And it's a bonus that your from Georgia, I'm in Macon!!🍑
AWESOME Rhonda!!!!! I’m not far from you!! I come to Macon for work and appointments but live in Fort Valley! There’s lots of peas out in Byron and a place I go to in montezuma. Anyways! Holler at me if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!!!
I blanch mine the same way, with the exception of the ice water bath. I dump the peas in the tub first then pour in twice as much ice water as the tub will hold, but slowly so the doesn't overflow. Then I pour them out on to clean dish towels with a fan blowing on them so they'll dry. This prevents ice crystal from forming on them. This'll help them last longer and hold their flavor for a longer period of time in the freezer.
Love your video! Your explanation is clear & concise plus your very organized. We’ve recently moved to an area where there’s lots of farms and I will be filling the freezer. Thank you so much🌽🥦🧅
I just learnt if I place baking soda …ratio for each cup of vegetable use 1/2 tsp of baking soda it will make your greens amazing long lasting Color and there is not weird after taste either. You have to try this you use it all the time once I’ve done it once I won’t do it no other way now and I dehydrate them so my freezer isn’t over flowing. And love love love your home made strainer so have to do that for large amounts of veggies! awesome!! That is a tube with poked in holes right cause I’ve never seen a store bought one like that
That’s just my rule of thumb for “Fresher is always better!” I personally wouldn’t go past 2 days. But, I would check the bag. In the video I talked about how to check your peas for freshness at the market. So do the same thing if you store them in fridge for 2-3 days. You will want to check the bottom of the bag to see if you see juice, slime, discoloration. Also, open the bag and smell it. They should smell fresh. if it’s soured they’re ruined. I have a feeling you would be fine up to 2 days, as long as they were picked and shelled fresh when you bought them. That’s why I suggest asking the farm market folks when the peas were picked/shelled. That helps you know how long you got before they go bad. Hope this helps!
I don't know what kind of peas these are but where I live, 6 minutes is about the fully extent you want to boil your peas for eating. Let alone having them already in the pot while it is coming to a boil. I would get pea soup if I did that with our peas. Blanching, to me, is dunking into already boiling water for 2 minutes max.
I do this technique for any “white” pea (Acre peas, Zipper Peas, Cream peas, butter peas, Butter Beans, Black eye peas, purple eye peas). I don’t cook them long enough to become pea soup.
I bought a fresh bag of black eye peas from a local farm. I didn’t blanch them. Just wash them and froze them. They never softened up when I cooked them. Was that because I didn’t blanch them?
I actually bring them to a low boil to finish cooking bc in the video here I am just blanching them so they’re not cooked all the way through. So when you get ready to serve them, just boil them for about 15 minutes and taste them to see if they’re tender to your liking. Thanks for watching!!!!
We grow our own vegetables. Thanks for sharing how to freeze peas. Very helpful.

In the same type situation. You're a real good man and son!

That’s interesting!!! I’ve e never heard of that!!! Glad you found a cool technique to preserve those peas!!!!!
Thanks for the video. It helped me alot
Very informative ^_^ 'preciate you
Thank you!
Very informative! I thought this was a lost art..
Thanks!!!! Surprisingly I don’t think it is!! At least not down here in the south! thanks for watching!
Very good Jawjagirl
HAHAHA Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!!
You don't pour off the liquid, you let it all cool putting the pan in a sink of cold water and bag up juice and peas
Old school ❤️
Yep I do it the way my mom taught me. I haven’t had no problems and it works for me. Thanks for watching!!!
Oh how l wish there was something like this around my area,l have a heart condition,and can't garden,but,l can freeze and can😮
I like your pineapple colander
If he did not have enough ice for the first bag why would you start another bag?
Can you can the peas after you blanch and freeze them?
The longest you should wait to blanch you mentioned is 1 day. Will they be bad if they go 2 to 3 days when stored in the fridge?

One more note I did not get the foam in the pre boil time, none came out.
Interesting!!!

@@AnnaVogler understood, we must have different types of peas here
@@laurensplompen No problem!!! Have a great day and thanks again for watching!!!
nice sharing friend, greetings new friend, new subbr
Thank you for subscribing!!!
So you do not fill the bags with water?
no sure I don’t. ☺️ Just let the peas cool and drain after you’ve plunged them in an ice bath. You should be good to go!!
I bought a fresh bag of black eye peas from a local farm. I didn’t blanch them. Just wash them and froze them. They never softened up when I cooked them. Was that because I didn’t blanch them?
Hi Raja! Probably so. I'm so sorry they never softened up. Try blanching them next time! :-)
Do you just heat them up when you want to serve them? Or do you need to boil them for a bit?
I actually bring them to a low boil to finish cooking bc in the video here I am just blanching them so they’re not cooked all the way through. So when you get ready to serve them, just boil them for about 15 minutes and taste them to see if they’re tender to your liking. Thanks for watching!!!!
@@AnnaVogler okay Thankyou!😊
