Never use leaves that have been sprayed with insecticides.<br /> <br /> Pick the leaves, remove the stems and also any large veins with a sharp knife, [[blanch]] until soft in fast boiling water, for a few minutes if very fresh, or longer if they are older. Pat them dry on a towel and then use them in your recipe.<br /> ===Freezing===<br /> Freeze them (when they are cool) from the last stage above by layering one by one in between appropriately cut-to-size pieces of greaseproof paper, so that they can be separated when frozen, and then store in a sealed plastic bag. <br /> <br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Vegetables]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/howtopreparegrapeleaves|#howtopreparegrapeleaves]] [[Special:Search/blanch|#blanch]] [[Special:Search/vegetables|#vegetables]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
