Basil, parsley, cilantro, and dill all keep well in the freezer. Frozen herbs will keep their flavor for several months. Unlike dried herbs, where the flavor gets more concentrated when drying, frozen herbs can be used in the same proportion as fresh herbs.
Method 1 – Simply wash and place chopped herbs in each compartment of an ice cube tray. Fill the tray with boiling water and freeze. Once frozen, pop cubes out and store in freezer bags. Add to soups or stews to get fresh herb flavor!
Method 2 – Wash herbs and blanche whole stems for 1 minute in boiling water. Drain and freeze spread out on a tray. When frozen put into freezer bags, pushing out any air in the bag. Thaw and use as you would fresh herbs – they will be wilty but taste great.
