Won't taste like dirt if you make pickles out of the stems! Really pretty in the jar when you use red/pink chard.
Ingredients
Swiss chard stems, chopped 1/2 inch square or so
1 cup distilled white vinegar
2 cups sugar
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
Make a mixture of vinegar and sugar, then stir in onions, Sriracha, and celery seeds.
Pour it all over the chopped stems, using 3 cups liquid for every 1 1/2 cups chopped stems.
Throw it in the refrigerator for a few days, and you've got the ultimate refrigerator pickles.
