Storing Fresh Herbs

watchingthepennies_2

Thanks for the tips, I am going to try and freeze some coriander this week. I thought i'd do it in ice cubes. Have always wanted a herb garden but have never got round to it so freezing seems a great idea and should save me a £'s.

Just made my first ever bread, an Italian Foccacia (spelling?) and it was lovely and so easy, but did make one mistake though. When kneeding the dough i noticed that the dried yeast was still visible........then read the yeast tin and realised that it should have been disolved first and not just thrown into the flour , so started dough two, this time no mistakes.

Anyway, back to my original question, how can i store the left over fresh herbs as it seems pointless just throwing then away.

I grow herbs from seed, so store the plant on the windowsill, and cut as needed

We have an existing thread on sporing herbs, so I'll add your question to that

Noooo do not throw them away! Take the leaves off and freeze them in a bag or tub. You can use them straight from the freezer crumbled into your food (soups, stews, casseroles, spag bol....) HTH
