FREEZING HERBS--BASIL, ROSEMARY, THYME, OREGANO, CILANTRO, PARSL
I always have a big herb garden in the summer. Basil especially just grows like crazy and I hate wasting it! A few years ago I was looking for how to freeze them, and kept reading about chopping and freezing them in water in ice cube trays or spreading them on cookie sheets to freeze, etc, etc. It just sounded like too much work. Then I stumbled across someone who claimed to do the following. It works great and tastes just as yummy as fresh! :O)

Steps:
- Thoroughly wash the herbs and allow to dry. If they are an herb where you just use the leaf (like rosemary or oregano), then trim the leaves off the stems. For parsley, cilantro, dill, etc I leave the stems intact and just cut off the ends near the base.
- If just using the leaves, throw them as is into the Ziploc bag. If using the whole herb, roughly chop them (I simply lay on cutting board and just cut into 1-2 inch pieces) and put them in the bag. Squish all the air out and label using Sharpie marker. Place in freezer . . . voila!
- When ready to use, simply break off/take out the amount you need and chop as needed. LOVE having fresh herbs all year! Also, if I need to buy herbs from the grocery store, I use this method to preserve whatever I didn't use right away.

- Just wash the parsley leaves, and either spin them in a salad spinner and/or dry with paper towel.
- Next, chop the parsley to your liking. I use a knife or mezzaluna type chopper (I don't like mine chopped too finely).
- Once you've chopped all the parsley (I leave off the thick part of the stems), put it in a container or freezer bag, and freeze.

- Add the herbs in layers, alternating with salt, until the container is full. Refrigerate. They should be packed as much as you can, making sure there is enough salt to cover them.
- The next day, you will notice that the herbs lost volume, so the jar is filled only half now. Keep adding salt and new fresh herbs until you fill the jar up again. Refrigerate.

- Pat the chives dry. I usually leave the bunch on a kitchen towel for about 15 minutes, then pat the stalks dry. If you're using paper towels, you can leave them on the counter to dry and use them again next time.
- Transfer chopped chives into a freezer bag. Squeeze out all the air before sealing the bag. Add a label to your bag if you like.

- Use the Fridge. First, rinse your parsley to remove any dirt or soil. Then, shake off the excess moisture and wrap the herbs in a few paper towels. Place the parsley (with the paper towels) in a resealable bag.
- Treat Parsley Like Flowers. Rinse the herbs and trim off the bottoms of the stems. Place the parsley in a jar or glass filled with water so that an inch or two of the stems are submerged.
- Use the Freezer. To store parsley for months, freeze it. Start off by rinsing and drying the herbs. Then, finely chop the parsley using a knife or a food processor.

- Keep the herbs whole or roughly chop them, it’s up to you. Place a small amount of one herb or a mixture of herbs into each indentation in your ice cube tray.
- Pour enough olive oil or melted coconut oil into each indentation to almost fill it. Place in the freezer for several hours or overnight.
- When the oil is frozen, remove the cubes from the trays, place them in a resealable plastic bag, label each bag with the type of herb using a Sharpie, and toss the bag in the freezer for up to several months. Pull out a cube or two whenever a little oil and fresh herbaceousness is desired, whether you’re making sauces, soups, stews, braises, pan sauces, even eggs. And if all you need is a smidgen of green goodness rather than an entire cube, simply grab a knife and slice as little or as much off as you need.

- Storing Fresh Herbs. This one is actually really simple and shouldn’t take much effort; however, it does help them last longer. My basil lasted three weeks longer when I tried this!
- Air Dry – Bundle Method. If you sometimes forget to check your plants, come back a week later and they are overflowing with herbal goodness, I recommend this method as it allows you to dry a larger amount of herbs at one time.
- Dehydrator Method. The dehydrator is one of my favorite things to use in my kitchen. I make fruit roll ups and dried fruit with it, among other things.
- Freezing Herbs. There are a few methods to freezing herbs. The first one is good only for a few months and it is super simple to do. Simply place the (dry) herbs on a dried cookie sheet and place in a freezer overnight.
- Herbal Butter. Preserving herbs in butter is really fun and, honestly, you can get creative with this. I have made strawberry mint butter before. Here’s what you do
- Herb Infused Vinegar. A really fun aspect of preserving using this particular method is you can reuse any old bottles you have that you like. It is important to note that you will need cork lids instead of metal ones with the vinegar though as the acid will eat away at the lid.
- Herb Oil. This is a great way to preserve your spices and use them differently. I like to add my herb flavored oils to salads as an alternative to salad dressing.
- Dehydrating by Oven. Sometimes it is just easier to turn on the oven. Sometimes it is nice to have the warmth in the house and we all know that the oven gives off a great smell when it’s cooking something good.
- Make Different Extracts. This is one of my absolute favorite things to do with many of my herbs, especially mint. This started when I found out how easy (and cheap) it was to make my own vanilla.
