Blanching Broccoli

I found a great deal on a 3 pound bag of broccoli florets and didn’t want it to go to waste.  I decided to blanch the florets for future meals.
3 pounds of Broccoli Florets remove from bag and wash
 
Throw florets into boiling water for 3 minutes only
Remove florets and immediately throw them in a bowl
of ice water to stop the florets from cooking
Remove from ice water and dry excess water off of florets
Lettuce spinner helps to remove water off of florets
Excess water removed
Place florets on towel to help get rid of remaining water
Seal florets in Food Saver bags, then place in freezer
**note if Food Saving broccoli, you may have to dry out seal tray
several times.  The machine sucks out any extra water from bag
before sealing.


I know you would do the same if you came across a deal………….right?
