I will blanch and freeze most of these limas, and put them in vegetable soup, baked beans, or lima bean chowder in the winter. I like your dip recipe. I would like to get more creative with my limas!Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-87010338330192858752012-09-16T01:29:05.062-04:002012-09-16T01:29:05.062-04:00Another vote for Casablanca.

Actually, love pretty much anything with Humphrey Bogart in it.<br /><br />Happy bean shelling.<br /><br />How do you eat fresh lima beans? I've only ever eaten cooked dried ones (butter beans in the UK). My favourite way is pureed with garlic, lemon and parsley as a dip/spread, but I put them in stews and casseroles too.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388175819512214533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-11003587976266309782012-09-15T15:47:04.655-04:002012-09-15T15:47:04.655-04:00Casablanca - what a movie.

I have a hard time doing handwork while viewing something I really like - I want to pay close attention.<br /><br />You got a real good deal for so much vegetables and sunshine.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503930255842185609noreply@blogger.com
