| Don't know if ya'll grow black eyed peas up there but I've found the best way to freeze them is to shell em..and not wash them, put them in brown paper sacks and tape em shut with freezer tape. They never taste like they've been frozen, I've even had some that were almost freeze dried. By accident I found a package way back in the back that I hadn't cooked, I picked it up and it was as light as air, went ahead and cooked them to see what would happen.....by golly they was just as good as the day i put em up.

YIPPEE!! My favorite subject!!!
I have an awesome Dill pickle recipe, the pickles I made were even better since we raised the pickling cukes, garlic, dill, and red peppers.
For 1 Qt dill pickles:
1/2 Lb 4-inch pickling cukes
Fresh Dill
1 Clove garlic
1 sm piece of small hot red pepper
2-1/4 C Water
3/4 C white vinegar
1 T pickling salt
Heat water and vinegar to almost boiling. Sterilize jars, pack cukes in jar, add dill, pepper, and garlic. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes. |
Hanta i would gladly take a jar of those off of your hands!! |
Shorthorn,
I would most gladly share with you, I have dozens of quarts. So what's the "catch"? You have to come to my house to pick them up and we can meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!
