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!
Kohlrabi is an ingredient that some people struggle with, “what do I do with this?” Kohlrabi makes an amazing slaw. It is crisp and pairs well with carrots. Throw on a simple dressing…go ahead, try this one.
This one is a quick and fresh way to enjoy your local ingredients. If you have a spiralizer, or a penchant for cutting a matchstick julienne, this is the recipe for you! It calls for agave syrup, but I believe honey would work as well!
Pesto is very flexible. Play around with different greens and nuts. I already did some experimenting so you can trust this one as a go-to pesto. Use the leftover pesto to top a burger!
