Re: OT: Too much Broccoli!

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Well, according to "The Ball Blue Book: The Guide to Home Canning and
Freezing":

Select firm,  young, tender stalks with compact heads.  Wash and remove
leaves and woody portions.  Separate heads into convenient-size sections
and immerse in brine (1 cup salt to 1 gallon water) for 30 minutes to
remove insects.  Rinse and drain.  Scald medium-size sections 3 minutes and
large-size sections 4 minutes.  Cool; drain; and pack in can or freeze jars
or lastic freezer boxes.  Seal; label; and freeze.
