fishinphyl Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 We live 40 miles from town and seems like whenever I find a recipe that uses fresh herbs there are none in the ref. Or I buy some and only use part of them and then the rest go to waste. I saw this idea in a magazine and thought I would pass it along.Chop up your fresh herbs, find an ice cube tray, measure out one teaspon of herbs, put in each section of tray and add water. Freeze. Then when frozen transfer to a baggie. Then when you need them for a recipe you can just take out the amount you need.I dry some of my own, but thought this was a good idea. ------------------Phyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Waldowski Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Phyl,That's a great idea. Now why didn't I think of that???? ------------------PaulDrake Motel [email protected]MarcumOtter OutdoorsJR's TackleLakemaster Lake Maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Scooter Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Phyl,That works very well. I also use the same procedure to freeze pesto cubes. Chop up all the ingredients except the cheese and pine nuts. Add the olive oil and freeze in cubes. When you want to have some grab some cubes and add the cheese and pine nuts!

SilverLakeBoy Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Ditto with lemons and limes: I wait till they are in season and buy a couple dozen when the price is down to 4 or 5 for a buck,juice them out and freeze in cubes use them in cooking or cocktails.

jbdragon Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Why not create an herb pot which you can bring in the house during cold weather? I have one with Sage, Basil, Chives, Oregano, Parsley, Marjoram, Rosemary. I keep it ouside in the summer and bring it in in the winter. ALWAYS fresh herbs.

fishinphyl Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hey guys - I am so proud! The gal that hates to has a good idea. Actually I do have a pot of cilantro growing in my kitchen, but I thought this was a great idea. I like the idea about the limes and lemons too. Another thing you never have when you live in the hills. ------------------Phyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish-n-geek Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hey Phyl - Think that idea would work to keep minced onions, too? :-)-rus- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
