Sugar snap peas are a fantastic spring treat, only in season for a few weeks, and naturally sweet enough to snack on raw. But what if you want to enjoy them beyond their brief spring season?
Freezing is the solution. If you just stick a bunch of raw sugar snap peas into the freezer , however, you'll end up with is a slightly slimy, partially discolored brownish vegetable. Not very appealing! But if you take just a few minutes to blanch before freezing , you'll end up with a treat that is ready to munch on right after they are thawed. Or they can be deliciously incorporated into stir-fries and other savory dishes straight from the freezer, as it is not necessary to thaw frozen sugar snap peas before cooking them.
Blanching is the process of cooking the vegetable briefly in boiling water and then plunging it into an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Both snow peas and sugar snap peas have edible pods. Pick ripe pea pods from the vine every few days to ensure tender, crunchy freshness. Harvest snow peas when the peas in the pod have just begun to form and the pod remains tender and flat. Harvest sugar snap peas from the vine once the peas have begun to fatten, causing the pod to round.
Pinch off the ends and pull to remove the strings along the seams of the pods before eating or freezing. The fresh peas can now be eaten raw, stir-fried, steamed, stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for two weeks or frozen. The peas must be blanched before storing in the freezer. To blanch, add 4 quarts of water to a pot and bring to a boil. While water is heating, prepare the pods as instructed in the previous paragraph.
