Have fresh herbs all year round with this simple Preserving Herbs with Olive Oil hack.

Have fresh herbs all year round with this simple Preserving Herbs with Olive Oil hack.

Summer is coming to an end and it’s time to start harvesting my garden so I can take advantage of all of its beauty and flavors. I love growing herbs in my garden because I can just walk to my backyard and pick fresh herbs for my meals all summer long. Nothing beats the flavor of fresh Basil and Rosemary, and I want those flavors to last all winter long. Thankfully, they can! There are two different ways I like to preserve my herbs at the end of summer; drying or freezing. Today, I will be focusing on how to freeze your leftover herbs so you can enjoy them for months to come. They are even frozen in olive oil so that you can just pop them into your pans for instant flavor. This is such a helpful tip you can use all year round when you have leftover herbs. When stored in the freezer in an airtight bag or ice-cube tray, they can last for months.

5. To use, any time you want to add some fresh herbs to your meal, simply pop an “herb ice cube” out of the tray and place it into a hot pan. The heat will instantly start to melt the oil and release the wonderful flavors and textures of the herbs.

    This is the first time I am hearing such a thing. But, I must say this is a really good idea and will save plenty of my time in the morning cooking breakfast for family.

    Thank you for a great site, really enjoy and glad I found you…What a great idea! The only thing is, what kind and how much of it? I’m not familiar with using fresh herbs, more the dry kind…. but would love to try…

    What a great idea. I need to do this with cilantro. I always end up throwing it away because I don’t use it fast enough.
