We eat them most nights and I'm not keen on frozen beans so have been giving them away!

I have mixed my green and yellow beans together when freezing and they look so nice.

We just wash + dry the beans-then slice + free flow-just like fresh

I have a recipe for green bean pickle if you are interested.I have never made it before but spotted it while looking for another recipe.

Thats the great thing about runner beans they taste just as good after freezing as fresh. I prepare mine for eating just like normal then blanche by dipping in boiling water for a minute then into cold water bag and freeze when you eat them just drop into water and boil like normal they are great nothing like that rubbish they try and sell in the supermarket frozen foods section.
Dwarf beans freeze well to but I tend to eat those fresh and freeze the scarlet runners.

Have grown another delicious bean this year in addition to my old faithful Scarlet Runner.It's 'Blue Lake' - a variety popular in the USA.
