FREEZING HERBS


Freezing herbs is an easy way to preserve your fresh summer herbs.
Cut, wash and air dry your fresh herbs.

I use fresh basil leaves, rosemary, chives, parsley, & thyme. I also include fresh garlic.


Place herbs in food processor with garlic and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Grind herbs into pesto.


Scoop ground herbs into small freezer containers.
I like to use ice cube trays.

 Freeze herbs, remove from trays after 24-48 hrs of freezing. Place into zip freezer bags for easy use.

I use the herb cubes in soup, pasta and sauce.
