Lot and lots of herbs

A great question -

 Hello Tamara, thanks for the idea. I have a ton of mint and oregano, along with other herbs and greens. I don’t dry my herbs, so its nice to think of other ways to use them. Could I leave out the oil, then freeze in ice cubes and add the oil when I defrost later? How long do you think it would stay fresh tasting if I froze them?

Hi Lara, here would be my suggestion if you have a ton of extra herbs – make a fresh pesto! Using a food processor make a puree; add whatever herbs you have include pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese – you can adjust the flavors later. Mint as the dominate flavor with a little oregano would make a great pesto. Place this pesto in zip-lock bags so they are airtight and lay flat in your freezer. Great for any time of the year.
