Freezing broccoli

To freeze broccoli, first soak heads in salt water bath (drives out worms). Next drain and cut it into pieces. The next step is to blanch it. This is most easily done with a blancher. It is a larger pot that contains a smaller pot with holes. They are fairly cheap and make life a whole lot easier. Bring water to boil. After it comes to a boil, put some broccoli into it and boil for 3 minutes (time this exactly). Remove inner pan and dump cooked broccoli in ice water bath (stops cooking process quickly). Drain. Put amount you would use for one meal in freezer container and seal. Make sure to mark the container with the product and date. Repeat process until all broccoli is doen. Freeze. Enjoy later in the winter. We especially like it in our quiche or on our veggie pizza.
