Blanching. Blanching (scalding vegetables in boiling water or steam for a short time) is a must for almost all vegetables to be frozen. It stops enzyme actions which can cause loss of flavor, color and texture. Blanching cleanses the surface of dirt and organisms, brightens the color and helps retard loss of vitamins. It also wilts or softens vegetables and makes them easier to pack. Blanching time is crucial and varies with the vegetable and size.
1 Use one gallon water per pound of vegetables when water blanching. 2  Blanch vegetables in small batches. 3  After adding vegetables to boiling water and putting lid on pot, the water should return to boil within about one minute. 4  If it doesn't, you are using too many vegetable pieces for the amount of boiling water. For water blanching start counting blanching time as soon as water returns to a boil. 2  For steam blanching begin counting time as soon as lid is on pot. 3  Cool blanched vegetables quickly to stop cooking. 4  Plunge the basket into very cold water and change the water frequently, or use ice water.
