I got a big bunch of fresh collard greens and I had to do something with them so I decided to freeze them so I could use them for Thanksgiving. If you want to learn how to freeze collard greens, this is the live stream for you.

[@ivoryfyall4231]

Awwww God Bless your heart you bought back so many memories of my mom may she R.I.P. How you r removing the stems by pulling the greens off😃😃😃My mom & aunts use to do it like that all the sisters together cleaning greens and chittlings. May you & Your family have a Bless & Wonderful Thanksgiving Day!!!! Much Love from NYC 🗽🗽🗽🗽

[@Sook995]

🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

[@kekec9695]

U have to blanch first before u freeze them if not they are no good

[@margaretsmith8107]

@@ivoryfyall4231 aaaaaaa!!!!

[@pattydiggs5018]

I eat the stems along with the every thing..

[@barbarakane8787]

Suggestion when freezing your greens: Remove stems, stack them, roll and cut them, place them in the water and vinegar. (Vinegar kills bugs and the dirt seems to removes off faster because the greens are cut. Rinse them in clean water then place greens into the blanching pot for 1-2 minutes, and into the iced water to get shocked and drained for freezer bags. I hope you find these steps helpful for you.

[@cecelacour7815]

What would happen if someone put them in a freezer without closing them up ? Like left them open. 🤦🏻‍♀️I asked my boyfriend to do ONE thing and he put them in the freezer open ! And still in the bag from the store. And today I saw they had a few white spots on it and I’m scared if I cook them they won’t taste fresh or good.

[@keithwilson9378]

yes you right on that and i learned that frozen greens that you do at home cook better then fresh

[@kikataye6293]

She’s covered all this in the video…

[@lifelife6973]

I haven't seen collard greens like that since my mama had her garden they look beautiful. You guys go out there and pick them collard greens Sunday dinner after our daddy died my mama raised 13 kids they passed away at the age of 91 I miss my mama think about you everyday lady I hear you I feel you I miss you I love you forever and thank God for choosing me to be one of your daughters love you mama

[@marionwebber5003]

Yes as you prepare your water for cleaning put some white table salt in the water and that will kill any bugs the greens might have.

[@jladylove1]

Marion that’s what I do too.

[@Morkiemom535]

I blanch my collards (even when not freezing) SPOON them into a colander & then cook in a small amount of well seasoned water. I don’t pour the water back over the greens. If you do,whatever dirt you got rid of goes right back on. Not only are your greens super clean, Blanching takes away some of the bitterness and ensures there’s no sand. My mom didn’t teach me to blanch. I learned this from a friend. Once I saw that sand in the pot, I was convinced. I love your videos & your spirit!😊

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hmmmm. I get it. Once you get them cleaned up you don’t want to get dirty water back on them. I’m pretty thorough. Can’t stand grit on my greens. Yuck!

One more thing..you are a very pretty lady...keep up the good work..I so much enjoyed your video. Have a blessed day!!

[@evascott7615]

I have been freezing all types of greens for years. I wash and rinse several times to get clean, let drain and then tear them up and put in freezer bags. Stack in freezer and when I am ready to cook just put them in the pot and cook till done with all my seasonings and meat. Always good and simple-taste like fresh greens.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Yes in deed. Where did you learn to do this? Your mom or gramma?

Thank you Ma’am for putting up this video. We got a big mess of collards today and had no idea how to prepare them.

A for effort because some ppl wouldn’t even bring them home because they would be afraid to try! We decided to grow us a little patch of greens even though we didn’t know to put em up. Figured we could learn as we go. So far so good!😂

[@veronicapurcell6239]

I agree with freezing and preserving food. It's not only cost efficient it's also time efficient. Homemade is always best. My mom showed me that. I appreciate your detailed, natural cooking style. Brings back good memories. Thank you for sharing.

[@moonbeamsinajar3297]

Thank You for sharing this! My grandmother passed away before I learned how to can and put up fresh vegetables 😢. My mama was too busy working to teach me how. So, now that the powers that be are poisoning our food, I’m trying to learn how to get back to the way our ancestors lived. They were a lot wiser than most people of today! Knowledge is rampant but Wisdom is more valuable than Gold! May The One True Living God show Favor & Mercy on all who see this!

[@georgiemarshall5505]

Hi Denise,this is my first time watching your channel. I pretty much do mine the same way only I put salt in my wash water and I use a cutting board and a knife to cut them up. I cool mine to room temp. Now I know about the ice water bath. Thank you very much. I’ve always heard that you’re never to old to learn! I’ve enjoyed hanging out with you. I will be watching more of your channel.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hi Georgie, thank you so much for stopping by. The cutting board is a good idea but I like holding them in my hand and cutting them with a scissors or knife. It just gets it done easier for me. Yes…the water bath is such a big help to stop the cooking right away. Girl, I’m always learning new things and I love it. We gotta keep learning or where are we?

My mother taught me how to cook greens, but I grew 3 of those beautiful bundles of greens in my new garden from seedlings and I didn't want them to go to waste. Now they won't! Thank you again!

Hi Bonnie. Oh…sorry. My best friend was named Bonita and we called her Bonnie. Hello, Bonita. Yes. The ice water bath is imperative to stop the enzyme action.

[@GeckoHiker]

We love collards and grow them year round. In the winter we grow them indoors in a closet sized greenhouse with grow lights. I use the stems two different ways because nothing goes to waste. The tender parts of the stem can be pickled. The rest can be diced and frozen to add to soups or stir fries. Collards are just a variety of cabbage that doesn't form a head.

[@kccarnage4105]

Thank you! I was wondering how I can use the stems. Another thing I do is let the boiled water cool down and use it to water the plants so they get all the nutrients back

[@GeckoHiker]

@@kccarnage4105 That's a good idea. We end up using any liquid in a soup. It's good to have other uses for what might be considered discardable.

Love collards! I steam them or stir fry with other veggies and beans. Tonight it was collards, chard, beets, celery, mushroom, and carrots with black beans simmered in a large stainless steel fry pan

And, you even mentioned cooking them in an Instapot! I don't use that thing very much, but I would for these!

I have to tell you I tried them in the Instant Pot and they were delicious. You might try the Forking Life...she shows how to cook them in the Instant Pot and they taste amazing.

[@jewelking1962]

I checked my greens for bugs , then I remove the stems, and I use salt, I cut them up, I blanch them for three minutes put them in an ice bath, and I squeeze all the water out, I put them in a Ziploc bag, they will get washed like seven times although the colllards are a clean green, and I do this with mustard greens, turnip greens, I have greens in my freezer all year long, thanks for letting everyone know, and maybe this will help also, stay blessed.

I can them in pressure canner with 1/2 tsp salt per pint jar and 1 tsp of beef bouillon powder per pint jar. Then when I want them I pour bouillon off but reserve it. I fry stems with a lil butter and bacon. After frying them I put them in instant pot with pepper and one cubbed onion. I also add 1/2 tsp of turmeric cause it healthy an add the juice that was reserved. Cook for 15 min on high or I use meat setting on mine.

Wow thought that was a plant i was told to never pick those big leafs but those greens look tender

[@homemakingwithdenise]

You’re right about the big leaves but if you cook them long enough, they tender up nicely. And I didn’t want to say no to those beautiful greens. He brings us things often.

I just love the instruction, ideas and tips you give! Thank you! Your greens are beautiful! How do you grow them without the leaves being destroyed by bugs?!? I think adding vinegar to the wash water is a great idea, but I would still add a little dish soap because it breaks the water tension so bugs etc cannot hide in little pockets of the greens, they have to float to the top. I am so in love with greens, I was not raised eating them and I am so happy my daughter introduced them to me after going to chef's school!

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Thank you so much. I still like to use a little dish soap but so many people were shocked by that. However, a friend suggested trying the vinegar and baking soda and it works beautifully too. T he vinegar is a great cleanser as is the salt. Any little critters drop right off from the vinegar and salt combination.

Oh…he has a natural repellent he puts on the leaves.
