Today I picked a large bunch of Sage from bed 33 and a large amount of Basil from bed 38 and stored them in the freezer for future use. How I did it is below:
Sage
1. What I did was I broke the stork off each leaf and washed all the leaves in a drainer under fresh cold rain tank water.
2. Dried all the leaves with paper toweling to remove most of the water.
3. Placed the sage leaves on a tray and into the freezer for about an hour. They became quite frozen.
4. Took them out of the freezer and placed all the leaves into a air tight plastic container and put the container back into the freezer for later use.
I did the same for the Basil I harvested. So they say when you freeze herbs the taste will keep better than by drying them. Sounds right but I will find out and if I remember, I'll post results on this blog.
Keep Growing and bye for now.
