Content: If you are freezing the spinach without blanching, you can skip this step and go straight to step 4. Keep in mind that you will need to use the spinach within one to 2 months if you do not blanch it before freezing. Heat a large pot of water till boiling. While the water is heating up, fill a separate bowl with ice water. Place your spinach in the pot and let it boil for 2 minutes. Immediately remove it with a pair of tongs, or strain through a colander and place the leaves straight into the ice water to stop the cooking process. You do not want your spinach to heat up so much that it wilts; the aim is just to kill the ripening enzymes for preservation purposes and then to stop the cooking process immediately by submerging it into the ice water. Step 4: Dry
Once cold, remove the spinach from the water and dry it in a salad spinner or pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
