Has anyone ever canned broccoli? We have some extra and I know I can freeze it, but I've never been a fan of frozen veggies.

Thanks ladies. I may try to pickle some, but will freeze too.

The only canned broccoli I was happy with (I TRY canning just about everything at least once..and since I LOVE broccoli and have had some great luck with it some years in my garden) was pickled broccoli..like in mixed pickled veggies. I usually do some celery, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper and cauliflower in mine but you can add any veggies and use a brine you would use for dill pickles..yummy and more crisp and not as strong and mushy as it is if you just can it regular. Have fun!!!

I think it would be really overcooked if canned. At least for me. The blanch and freeze method leaves at least little crunch! Drying it would be very handy!

I think it would just be slimy if not blanched and frozen or how about a soup starter or drying for soup later.
