Frozen Herbs

Hate to see all those fresh herbs in your garden go to waste?  Check out this unique idea on how to freeze your fresh herbs!

 I am not much of a gardner but I have somehow managed to grow an abundance of herbs every year!  As the season comes to an end and I watch my beautiful plants shut down for the winter, it just breaks my heart!

So I used an old ice cube tray (does anybody really use these things anymore?).  I made several batches.  One with water for when I want herbs but no oil and one with a good olive oil.

I toss them in soups and sauces.  I only wish I would have made more!

 Next time you need a little herby  boost in your pot of something  yummy…throw one in!  Loved this idea!

How to freeze your fresh herbs!

• Using a plastic or silicone ice cube tray, place your herbs either one or a combo of many, inside each tray.

• Pour either olive oil or water into each tray.  I find I like the water ones when I don’t want oil and visa versa so a combo is great!

• Now into the freezer it goes!  When solid, remove from trays and store in ziplock bags.
