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.
