They sound wonderful, but a question? After all that work, time, and
volume, would they freeze well? Or would the beans degrade and fall apart in the freezing and defrosting process? |

I think you'd have a shot at a decent result if you thaw the beans slowly and absolutely without poking at them to try to break them up to speed the thawing. Especially if they were a little firm to start with. -- http://www.jamlady.eboard.com, updated 12-13-05 - RIP, Gerri |
