Then dumped it in an ice bath, and packed it in vacuum seal bags. The trick is draining it really well (or you clog up the vacuum sealer) -- I used the salad spinner, and then rolled them up in clean dishtowels. It was a lot of work and I was kind of bummed about it, but now I'm glad I did it. I just blanched it in boiling water — quickly, about three minutes.

Sounds good, especially since next year I'll be able to do my winter crops since we won't be only at the community garden. How did you put up the swiss chard for storing?
