HERBS
Freezing Leaf Method: Wash and dry herbs, place on cookie sheet; no leaves touching, cover with aluminum foil and freeze, once frozen put in zip lock bags and freeze. Freezing Herbs in Oil: Either chop herbs finely or leave them in larger sprigs or leaves. Pack wells of ice cube tray with your herb, pour extra virgin olive oil or melted, unsalted butter over the herbs, freeze overnight, remove next day and transfer cubes to zip lock or container to store in freezer. Drying Herbs: Wash and dry herbs, bundle stems and tie with rubber band, hang herbs upside down with a brown paper bag over them, once dried place herbs in an airtight container and store away from light. |
