Fresh Herbs, Year Round.

Ever had problems keeping your fresh-cut herbs fresh in the fridge?  Or even keeping your fresh herbs alive if they're planted?  I have found this solution that works like a charm, and allows you to have fresh herbs year round, and no I don't dry them out.  Although that is an option, I like this one better for flavor and for freshness.  This solution comes from the kitchen of Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa herself - love her.  So here's how to do it in two easy steps!  
   
Fresh Herb Ice Cubes

  1. Roughly chop same kind of herb and distribute into ice cubes.  Do not use food processor because herbs will become to watery and only combine herbs if you plan to use them simultaneously in your meal.
  2. Freeze, date, and pop out into separate container for easy use. In Ina's words, "How easy is that?"
