How do I freeze broccoli

Preparing broccoli to freeze.
1. remove leaves & woody portions.
2. separate heads into sections & immerse in brine for 30 minutes(4 teaspoons salt + 1 gallon water) to remove insects. remove & rinse.
3.split lengthwise to no more than 1 1/2 inches across.
4. water blanch 3 minutes or steam blanch for 5 minutes. start counting as soon as you place broccoli in boiling water.
5. immediately immerse in cold or ice water to stop cooking action.
6. drain & package leaving no head space ( the less air the better, will keep longer with out freezer burn), seal & freeze.

two ways to freeze -
1. place in bags( I use quart size fro this method) remove as much air as possible & seal.
2. place broccoli on flat sheets in freezer 1-2 hours to freeze, then remove & place in bags( I use gallon size for this method, size & style of storage unite is choice of preference). with this method one can use as little or as much as needed for what you need. I use this method for my peppers & peas as well.
