    During the summer months, herb gardens are an explosion of fragrance and flavor: you’re lucky if you can use enough to keep them from going to seed. But with sunrise coming later and later, they start producing a lot less and getting enough fresh herbs to cook with becomes more of a challenge.

    Fresh Herbs In Olive Oil

    So before the frost really sets in, stock your larder with this herb-infused olive oil to keep those home-grown flavors for all the savory stews and soups you’ll surely be making in the months ahead.

    This method is ideal to use for herbs because it keeps them fresh without a lot of fancy equipment or time. Preserving them in oil prevents freezer burn and makes sure they’re just as delicious when you cook with them as when you picked them.

    You can use the resulting “oil cubes” to add a little touch of summertime flavor to meat, soup, or anything else you like.

    This isn’t really a “recipe” in the traditional sense; it’s really a method that you can use to preserve whatever herbs you have available.

    I haven’t even specified any particular plants, so use what’s growing in your garden or what you can get at a local market. Don’t be scared to mix up the herbs to create even more flavors – think of your favorite flavor combinations, and go for it!
