HOW TO FREEZE FRESH SWISS CHARD
To freeze chard, you must follow a few simple steps, but all in all, you should have this all done within a half hour.

Steps:
- Wash the chard and trip the stems off (I save the stems and then cut them up, blanch, and freeze them as well).
- Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil (to blanch your greens).
- Grab a large bowl and fill it with cold water and ice (after you blanch the greens, you want to immediately put them in an ice bath to stop further cooking).
- While you're waiting for the water to boil, cut or tear the chard into bite-size pieces.
- When the water has come to a boil, drop the greens into the pot (you might have to do this in a couple of batches, depending on how much you have).
- Blanch the greens for 2-3 minutes. Since vegetables (and fruits) have bacteria and enzymes that can destroy nutrients and break down the vegetables over a period of time, this is an important step. Don't skip it!
- Remove from water and immediately put in the ice bath - I usually cool them for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from the ice bath and place in a colander to let some of the water drain out. The less water in the leaves, the less ice crystals you'll end up with once frozen.
- Now you can bag the greens. I use a vacuum sealer. I find that it helps preserve the vegetables longer. If you don't have access to a vacuum sealer, you can use freezer bags with a zipper, just make sure you squeeze all of the air out before sealing. Or, you can also place a straw partway into the bag and then seal the bag to the straw, suck the air out, pinch the straw and finish zipping the bag as you pull the straw out.
- Label them, toss them in the freezer, and you're done!
