Problem with frozen broccoli from garden

9 years ago

I had a huge broccoli harvest this last summer so I blanched it and froze it. When I prepare it I have to be very careful or it will be too soft, so just barely cook it. Besides that problem it seems full of water and won't stay warm enough on the table to eat. Does this make sense? I've had frozen broccoli from the garden and don't remember these issues. Any suggestions?

I find that broccoli, once frozen and then thawed, will go soft no matter what you do. It is better if it is steamed rather than boiled and wife and I put it in the steamer basket still frozen, not thawed. Hope this helps.

Try thawing it in ice water.

Also this might help. After blanching cool down in ice water.

Just my way to do it.
