PUT HERBS IN ICE CUBE TRAYS AS FOLLOWS
Fresh herbs – I use this one all the time. I LOVE the Springdell herb garden. You pick the herbs from the garden, chop them up and put them in the cubes. Add oil and freeze. Remove the cubes and put them in a ziplock. Don’t forget to label them with what herb they are. I also like to do herb combos that I know I use together a lot for pasta sauces etc.
Simple syrup – I make a simple syrup out of equal parts sugar and water. Heat until the sugar has dissolved. You can freeze as is and just pop a cube into a beverage or you can steep the simple syrup with herbs or flavors too. I love to use mint from Springdell and let that steep. I let it sit in there until the syrup is cool, strain out the mint, freeze and I have cubes to use in my iced tea. Delicious.

Herb butter is a great way to preserve herbs over the winter months. Check out our recipe for it!
Popovers are light and fluffy little rolls that make wonderful accompaniments to hearty soups, stews, gravies, or just by themselves! The pastry flour brings an extra element of lightness and fluffiness to these lovely treats. Adding fresh herbs or herbed butter is an option as well! A muffin pan can fill in if a popover pan isn’t available.
Rather than one pesto recipe, I’ve opted to provide a basic pesto formula that you can make your own. All you need are herbs and oil, most else is negotiable! Nuts, cheese, citrus juices, and other stir-ins make for a wonderful addition to just about any dish!
A great way to use up some eggs and enjoy some warm comforting food. Use any kind of cheese you’d like and change up the herbs for different fresh flavors.
