Can I freeze chopped rosemary?
Take individual clippings of rosemary, leaves still attached to the stem, and place them on a baking sheet. Place the rosemary sprigs in the freezer for a couple of hours, until they are frozen solid. Transfer the sprigs to a freezer bag for future use.
Can you dry or freeze rosemary?
Yes, freezing rosemary is simple for fresh or dried versions. When freezing fresh rosemary, I like to suspend it in olive oil (or water) in an ice-cube tray (for 4-6 months). You can also lay the sprigs out on a tray till frozen and then move to a large freezer-safe bag if you want to retain the sprig shape.
Can you freeze fresh sage and rosemary?
Not only can you freeze fresh herbs individually, like freezing parsley, but you can also freeze herb mixtures. The focus today will be on freezing rosemary, sage and parsley. You can freeze freshly chopped herbs in ice cube trays, airtight containers, or a Ziploc bag.
Should you trim rosemary?
Rosemary is very good at taking care of itself, particularly plants grown in pots. It's not necessary to prune plants unless they are overgrown, over woody, or unless you are trying to make a hedge or prune into topiary shapes.
How do I make my house smell good with rosemary?
Place bunches of lavender, rosemary and thyme in the center of cheesecloth cut into 4-inch squares. Gather the corners and tie the little bundles closed with ribbon. Place the sachets in drawers, between stacks of folded sheets and under guestroom pillows to scent the cloth with natural sweetness.
What do you do with dried rosemary plants?
Once you've dried your rosemary, you can use it to marinate cheese, add into spice mixes, put it in shortbread, and make herbal tea—you can, for the most part, use it in place of fresh rosemary, reducing the amount by about 2/3. Here's how to dry rosemary so you can have the earthy, aromatic herb around at all times.
