Freeze the Surplus

Whether you are sick of the chard, or just haven't had time to use it up, save it for a later date!

Here is a chart I found in a magazine I got out of the library recently. I found it very helpful, as somethings I didn't realize you could freeze, like kale and chard! I plan to do some of these for my family know that I know that. How great to pull a bag of kale out in the middle of the winter to use in a soup! Will go great with my local chickens and stock I've made from them. (If you are interested in buying local, home grown, pasture raised chickens, my friends right around the corner at Morgan Hill Farm do it right. I just helped slaughter 30 for my freezer!).

Happy Freezing!

*NOTE: Thanks to one of our members for pointing this out. The article recommends using a vacuum sealer. If you do not have one, you can use zip-lock bags, squeeze as much air out as you can, seal almost all the way and then stick a straw in and suck out the rest of the air manually, then seal. I did this for years until I bought a Food-Saver :-)
