Your basil is still producing beautiful green leaves, the parsley is overflowing its container, and the chives are growing faster than you can use them. Unfortunately, freezing temperatures are approaching, and those fresh herbs won’t last forever. Before you let the final harvest go to waste, there’s a simple way to preserve much of that flavor for winter.
Learning how to freeze fresh herbs can save you money on grocery-store seasonings while making homemade soups, sauces, and casseroles more flavorful. Unlike drying, freezing can preserve more of the fresh taste of certain herbs, particularly basil, parsley, dill, and chives.
