Topic: Freezing peas

[mormor]

Freezing peas?  Has anyone frozen peas without blanching and was it a success?  I have read my way through pros and cons - would like a personal view!

Right or wrong ? we never blanch peas and 'still eating last years and they're fine.
Welanch every other veetable.

Yep, I've frozen them without blanching and kept them for up to 3 months no problem. I wouldn't know if they last longer than that as I've always eaten them by then.

I just shell and put into plastic bag and into the freezer.   I do drop them into fast boiling water when cooking them.

we are still eating last years peas and they taste just as good, don't think we will get anywhere near as many this year though :-\

Is it too late to sow some peas?

It's not too late Debs but with later crops you run a much higher risk of them being affected by pea moth (little maggots in your peas)

Thanks for your comments.  I have now frozen peas without blanching and am confident that they will be fine.
