The Case of the Disappearing Spinach

With a surplus of Spinach in the veggie garden at present, I've been picking and blanching large quantities to go into the freezer for use in smoothies, soups and veggie burgers at a later date. What often looks like a huge quantity and takes seemingly forever to pick, cooks down to a meager amount of useable produce.

It's a labour of love though, as I 'squirrel' away in the freezer almost anything that is surplus to my requirements for the months when this produce is out of season.
