List of Ingredients




Get together your tools:

A big pot of boiling water
Salt
A strainer or other tool to get the broccoli out of the boiling water
A big bowl of ice water. I put about a quart of ice in the bowl and then fill it up with cold water.
Rigid freezer containers or what ever you want to store the broccoli in, in the freezer.

Recipe



Bring the water to a rolling boil. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into spears, where there are two or three stems of broccoli in a bunch.

Salt the boiling water liberally.

Drop a large handful of broccoli into the boiling water. Count down three minutes. Take the broccoli out of the water and give it a shake.

The broccoli becomes bright green when its boiled.

Then drop it into the ice water. Let it sit in the ice water just long enough to cool, it won’t take long.

Finally, transfer the cooled broccoli to your freezer containers and put them in the freezer.

You may want to steam your broccoli instead of boiling it. If you steam it, time it for 5 minutes then proceed with the ice water bath and freezing.
