Easy Way to Blanch Celery

Ingredients

Directions

  1. On a dry day in mid-November, carefully lift the celery plants from the ground.

  2. Place the plants upright and close together in water-tight troughs or containers in a dark cellar.

  3. Pour enough water over the roots to cover them, and continue to add water as it evaporates throughout the winter.
