Can I keep fresh Rosemary in the refrig for long periods of time?
Question:Year before last I planted a Rosemary bush in my flower bed and it is now twice the size of what I originally planted. I use the herb in many dishes and would like to strip the bush before the end of the growing season. What is the best way of preserving it.
Answers:
the best thing to do is freeze it. Just wash them, then let them dry for a bit, and wrap them up so that they arent stuck together, and seal in an air tight ziplock bag.
you can also freeze them in ice cubes if you do stews or soups. Just throw the ice cube in the stew/soup when you want it, just make sure you adjust the water ammount for the ice cube content <measure it out before you fill the cube tray>
No but Thyme is ok !
The best thing to do is dry it... That will keep the longest...
