Content: To blanch them normally, bring a pot of water to boil and add the fresh spinach. Leave them in the water for about two minutes, and then put them in ice water for another two minutes. To steam blanch, fill a pot with about two to three inches of water and bring it to boil. Put a mesh colander or steamer basket in the pot so it rests above the water, add the spinach. Steam for two minutes, then place the spinach in ice water. Once you’ve removed the leaves from the ice water, dry them thoroughly with either a thick paper towel or a salad spinner. Once the leaves are dry, put one to two cups in an airtight freezer bag. Freezer burn will make your spinach taste rubbery and bitter. Extra water and air can cause freezer burn, so you want to make sure the spinach is dry and the freezer bag is tightly sealed. You can use a straw to suck out the excess air before sealing the bag if you don’t have a vacuum sealer.
