Hi Amy freezing beans

[Guest guest]

I do freeze my crockpot beans all the time but then those recipes are more on

the soupy side. I often wonderful if you would have the same bean texture if

you froze a can of beans (not in the can of course) when they thawed. The

crockpot beans come out just fine once thawed.

I will try that recipe of yours, I love capers...........Donna

Thanks, Donna! I've missed you too - it's nice to be home, even if

it's only home for another 9 days. Plus it's nice to come " home " to

the list and see what y'all have been cooking!!! :-)

 

Anyway, yep on freezing the beans! That batch was an experiment, and

I had to actively mush them up, though I confess I didn't try a bean

to see if the texture whole was still good :-7 - I should have I

guess, 'cause I've read freezing beans leaves them mushy and only good

for recipes where you intend to mush them up! But they looked whole,

even after they thawed, so maybe that's another of those " kitchen myths " .

 

*hugs* all,
