Make Your Own Broccoli

 I have broccoli in my own freezer bags, that I put together, especially when they are $.49/lb!  With some love and time putting it together, it is a well-worth way to save money in your wallet.  I have tried just freezing some chopped broccoli without blanching it, and ended up throwing it all out from a bad/spoiled  taste!

Just take your broccoli crowns, and dunk them into boiling water for 3-5 minutes.

 

Then, place them into ice cold water to stop the cooking process.

 

 When ready, start prepping/chopping to the desired form.

I place 3-4 cups of chopped broccoli into freezer bags.  Don't forget to label and date.
