I noticed the other day that my basil plant was getting pretty tall. I decided to cut it down a bit and put some basil away for the winter. I've done this in years past and it works pretty well.
I cut the basil with scissors into ice cube trays. Push it down a bit so the cubes are pretty full.
Then I add a little water to hold it together and pop it in the freezer. Once frozen, I put the cubes into a zip lock bag and put them back into the freezer until the fall and winter.
It's great to pull out a few cubes when making pasta sauces. It's not the same as fresh, but it's better than dried. I haven't tried it with other herbs. Has anyone else?
