    This was hands down the best herb preserving video out of the handful that I watched! Thanks!

    I just started with gardening and herb harvesting! This is super helpful for a beginner like me 🤣

    I love herbs so much. I put about 6 different fresh herbs and veg (like raw jalapeno and arugula) to my avocado toasts and i love making compound butters too! These ideas are great, i definitely need to not be so afraid of freezing things.

    Add herbs in butter and salt and pepper and put into silicone ice cube tray. Easy to push out one cube when ready to use.

    Absolute great tips looking forward to trying the butter. I've just started to get into food preservation in the last year my favorite technique when freezing however is to use a vacuum sealer as where your herbs are less likely to receive freezer burn and will last up to a year in your freezer. Freezing herbs of course will give a little discoloration however it will hold all of its taste and flavor.

    Another great tip is to place olive oil in an ice tray with herbs of your choice. When cooking, just place in your food.

    • @veger2001
      @veger2001 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Be careful that you do not emerge anything into oil as a prolonged lack of air can produce botulism and can be very dangerous. as long as there is air to the food its ok though OR if its subjected to below 4.6 PH ( botulism cannot form below 4.6 although I always prefer to be on the safe side and follow the rule of 4.1.

  • @Cladman3001
    @Cladman3001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just place the leaves on a cookie sheet and put in an oven at 170°F for about 1 hour. Then I crush them and put them in a sealed canning jar. Work great, easy and not mess.

    I find that drying herbs in a dehydrator preserves the flavour the best.

  • @ooohlaa13
    @ooohlaa13 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Do you need a bag for each sprig of basil? That would be a lot of bags from a few plants? Love your video, so well organized and you obviously prepared very well for it to go so smooth! thanx

    • @Sabbathissaturday
      @Sabbathissaturday 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, you don’t. She’s just giving you an example. I just throw handfuls of my Thai basil into bags and I just fold the top. No clamps. I throw it into the cabinet for two weeks. I also have a dehydrator, but I like the taste and fragrance much better from natural drying.

  • @darbypea2223

    • @s.mc.3612
      @s.mc.3612 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I made fresh chive butter and put it into a divided silicon mold.
      Apparently I kept it too long in the refrigerator instead of freezing the butter cubes and they got moldy.
      I will freeze immediately from now on and keep chive-butter cubes in a quart bag in the freezer.

    Putting the herbs in glass jars instead of ziplock bags, preserves their freshness and prevents freezer odor! Any empty glass jar will work perfectly, no need to use Mason or Ball jars and lids, unless you are freezing a liquid which will expand and break the jar.

    The easiest way is just to harvest them and put them into your fridge. They will dry naturally. Then you can make them into power using your hand when you cook.

    That was a nice video with some really good information. And I wanted to just let you know that glass should never go in the freezer. It could explode when the door is opened. So make sure you don't encourage people to do that. I must admit I do put white wine in the freezer but set the timer 10 or 20 minutes. But never freezes it just gets really chilled. Great job though

  • @marisabune4814
    @marisabune4814 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have to worry about any potential for botulinum toxin when storing herbs in the freezer since it’s a low oxygen environment? I use them for sauces and dressings so I would not be cooking them from frozen, just putting them in my Ninja and making the sauce. Thanks for any info!

      @jo-anncintron6234 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Peaches Jackofski Hi there, the “H” is silent. The way she’s pronouncing it is the proper way. I use to think like you growing up but when I was teased I was corrected that the proper way of saying it is the “H” being silent. When saying it, sounds like “Urbs=Herbs”

    • @peachesjackofski8363
      @peachesjackofski8363 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Jo-ann Cintron thank you so much for replying to me and explaining, it just seems so irrational and strange to me. I’m Scottish, and we always pronounce the “h”, it’s so weird to hear it like like this-like I guess it is for you vice versa.

    • @nicw1387
