I gave them a quick blanch in boiling water then let cool, patted dry and froze them..They were just like any frozen partially cooked green type beans..Still good and easy to use. kadesma

The National Center for Home Food Preservation has a great site with all of the instructions you need for Freezing Vegetables.
