English or hull peas, snow peas and sugar snap peas are commonly available. All can be frozen, and the hull peas may be successfully canned in the pressure canner. Peas will have the best quality if canned or frozen the same day as they are harvested.

How do you preserve sugar snap peas?

Place snow peas or sugar snap peas into freezer bags or containers, seal, label, and store in the freezer. They’ll keep up to 8 months. They’ll still be “good” beyond that timeframe, but the quality begins to decline.

What can I do with mature sugar snap peas?

Cook sugar snaps briefly, so they’ll stay tender, and season them with butter, salt and pepper if desired. They can also be frozen or pickled for later use. After the pea plants stop bearing, work them into the soil to provide nitrogen for another crop.
