Since herbs are beginning to put on a lot of growth, it's time for my first harvest. I cut, clean & dry the herbs (mint, sage and rosemary at the moment). Then I whizz them with a little oil in my food processor (blender works too!). I fill an ice cube tray with the herb paste and pop it into the freezer. When the cubes are frozen, I put them in labeled bags for use later!
I freeze individual herbs & I make my own blends (Italian, Tex-Mex, Provence, etc.). I prefer the flavor of these to that of most dried herbs.
It is such a blessing to flavor foods throughout the year with fresh, flavorful herbs!
