Is it possible to freeze mange tout and how do you do it? I have an excess in my garden and it would be nice to save some.

Ha Ha . Are you serious?

Now Marie~Anne for a serious answer:~

It's best to pick the mange tout when they are just ripe,not ripe or overipe.

Tray freeze them,that is flat, and not on top of each other on a flat tray or baking sheet.

Once they are solidly frozen you can transfer them into a storage box.Mange Tout should freeze well,as they are quite thin.

Any other information you require on this, just let me know?

I think they should be picked before they are fully grown and then blanched for about 30 seconds in boiling water. More into at http://www.itscooking.com/How%20to%20freeze%20fruit%20&a mp;%20veg.htm or google.
