Is anyone else canning like a Mad Woman? Yes??? Oh good! I was beginning to worry about my sanity! LOL
Canning with fresh herbs is the way to go! Unfortunately they don’t stay fresh long. Why not freeze them?!?
I measured my chopped cilantro into an ice cube tray, topped with water and froze.
Don’t forget to label your freezer bags!
Mint ~ measured and frozen.
Into the freezer these go… cilantro for salsa and mint for everything else!
Be sure to come back for…
Great ideas!
Here’s another idea for mint…I boiled water then steeped mint leaves in it for awhile, then poured the mint water & a couple new leaves into each section of an ice cube tray…these mint cubes are WONDERFUL in a glass of ice tea!
For basil, I through it in the blender/food processor w/a little extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), then freeze into ice cubes for use in future recipes such as pesto or saute dishes that I would typically use EVOO & basil in!
