broken.  Wash thoroughly and remove ends.                   

  Cut  in  1-  or 2-inch pieces, or  slice  lengthwise  into
strips for frenched (julienne-style) snap beans.            

  Water blanch  for 3 minutes.  Cool promptly in cold  water
and drain well.                                             

  Pack  into containers, leaving 1/2-inch  headspace.  Seal,
label and freeze.
