Thanks, I agree on storing herbs, with just the two of us it's hard to use up fresh all the time.
 
Well, then you might as well use dried to begin with!! I need my freezer space for all of the other food I like to keep on hand.

Frozen herbs are a lot more like fresh herbs, than like dried herbs. They don't take a lot of space in the freezer.

What do you do when you buy fresh herbs and don't use them up right away?
 
I freeze some, others I put in the dehydrator and dry. Some, however, you can keep in a container of water--they will root. Mint is one, basil is another. You can extend the "fresh" period for about 3 weeks. I've done this with rosemary as well and it has also rooted, but the plants did not develop enough roots to grow. The wood stem ones don't keep as well in water as the square-stemmed ones.
