Preserved Herbs in Oil
Report
Hearty herbs like rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon, and oregano all can be frozen in olive oil for long-term storage. The delicious result is both infused oil and a preserved garden herb at-the-ready for off-season cooking.

Ingredients
- 2-3 branches rosemary
- 2-3 branches sage
- 2-3 branches thyme
- 2-3 branches tarragon
- 2-3 branches oregano
- 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Assemble empty ice cube trays, freezer storage bags, and bundles of fresh herbs.
- Wash and dry the herbs well. Use a salad spinner or blot them dry with a clean tea towel.
- Remove the leaves of the herbs from the stems. This is a good job for little helping hands and ‘bruising’ the leaves will help them to release more of their natural oils and fragrance.
- Tear or chop the herbs into small pieces or leave them as individual leaves. (I prefer to leave them whole.)
- Load the ice cube trays about two-thirds full with the herbs. You can keep the individual herbs separate or you can mix them in combinations you frequently use together.
- Pour the olive oil over the herbs to cover.
- Freeze the ice cube trays overnight. Pop the cubes from the trays and slip them into small resealable freezer bags.
- Write the name(s) of the herbs and the date on bags. Seal and store them flat in the freezer.
