This was hands down the best herb preserving video out of the handful that I watched! Thanks!
I just started with gardening and herb harvesting! This is super helpful for a beginner like me 🤣
I love herbs so much. I put about 6 different fresh herbs and veg (like raw jalapeno and arugula) to my avocado toasts and i love making compound butters too! These ideas are great, i definitely need to not be so afraid of freezing things.
I have been watching Hilah for years and I am so glad to see her here! Steve and Hilah popping up on the same channel? Dream come true! :D
Hi Christa! :)
Great to see the 3+ ways to preserve herbs. Wonderful ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Loved watching this! I finally got ways of preserving herbs which I have been wanting to do. Thank you for sharing! I am new and still learning!
Add herbs in butter and salt and pepper and put into silicone ice cube tray. Easy to push out one cube when ready to use.
Genius!
This was a great video. Came here after watching a couple others on the same topic, and his had the most useful, clear methods.
Useful this quarantine especially your store veggies episode, thank you!
I found your video as I was searching for tips on harvesting my VERY HAPPY herb garden! It has produced wonderfully this Summer in spite of intense heat in our area. Thank you for your very clear tips. 😊
Thank you. So helpful. Excellent content and very well made. 🙏🏽
Loved all the ideas, thank you..👍
Many thanks for wonderful ideas!
Thanks for this video super helpful for a beginner gardener!!!! Also, I enjoyed watching you demonstrate the different methods your personality makes the video even more entertaining!!!
Another great tip is to place olive oil in an ice tray with herbs of your choice. When cooking, just place in your food.
Be careful that you do not emerge anything into oil as a prolonged lack of air can produce botulism and can be very dangerous. as long as there is air to the food its ok though OR if its subjected to below 4.6 PH ( botulism cannot form below 4.6 although I always prefer to be on the safe side and follow the rule of 4.1.

thanks for the tips, great presentation!
Thanks for the tips to preserve fresh herbs
I find that drying herbs in a dehydrator preserves the flavour the best.
Great tips will definitely try these methods thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing love it!
Great tips! I'll be putting these to use shortly since we're got a few cold snaps coming our way. Thanks Hilah!
Absolute great tips looking forward to trying the butter. I've just started to get into food preservation in the last year my favorite technique when freezing however is to use a vacuum sealer as where your herbs are less likely to receive freezer burn and will last up to a year in your freezer. Freezing herbs of course will give a little discoloration however it will hold all of its taste and flavor.
Great tips, thank you!
I like the paper bag idea, great tip!
awesome! great tips!! 👍👍😘
That was awesome!!! Thanks
neat video, I never thought of those things. wow it makes sense to makes your herbs last long as possible.
Herb working for meer mortals?! On a woodworking for meer mortals cutting board? This is wonderful!
Very helpful, thank you
Cool thanks Hilah!
Wow! Awesome thanks💪
This is so helpful. I was wondering what to do with all my cilantro before it goes to seed. Thank you 🙏
Great tips Thankyou!
Haha. My favourite woodworking guy also makes intro to herbs preservation. 🌿 Would never guess :)
Nice cutting board :)
These tips look promising, I'm posting this video to my GF. She just got a mortar from me and she really wants to use it.
Ooh! A mortar does great work grinding up garlic for flavoring butter - gives it a nice texture.
Great video. I love how candid the video is. I has a certain charm that is perfect for youtube, not that over-rehearsed "perfect" takes that you usually see on tv. I honestly love it.
Thank you!
I just place the leaves on a cookie sheet and put in an oven at 170°F for about 1 hour. Then I crush them and put them in a sealed canning jar. Work great, easy and not mess.
my dogs must think I'm nuts. I burst out laughing and then subscribed
Thanks for sharing 🌈
we have the same range hood, AND the same cabinet underlighting. You've got good tastes :)
Cabinet underlighting is so helpful! I never want to live without it :)
I like the flavor butter idea, definitely.
I made fresh chive butter and put it into a divided silicon mold.
Apparently I kept it too long in the refrigerator instead of freezing the butter cubes and they got moldy.
I will freeze immediately from now on and keep chive-butter cubes in a quart bag in the freezer.
Nice knife skills!
Is it.possible to share a sheet with what herbs go with which preservation method? Thanks. This was very helpful
Did this list ever happen? I would love to see it as well as I am a newbie to fresh herbs. Thanks so much. These videos are so helpful.
Omg you resemble Lisa Kudrow from the show Friends! Thank U for these tips too!
Do you need a bag for each sprig of basil? That would be a lot of bags from a few plants? Love your video, so well organized and you obviously prepared very well for it to go so smooth! thanx
No, you don’t. She’s just giving you an example. I just throw handfuls of my Thai basil into bags and I just fold the top. No clamps. I throw it into the cabinet for two weeks. I also have a dehydrator, but I like the taste and fragrance much better from natural drying.
I mean this in the nicest way possible. You look like the love child of Phoebe from "Friends" and Uma Thurman. Thanks for the tips. About to get my garden ready for winter :(
I agree about the lovechild comment. Lmao!
Wow, it’s so true!
Great video....didn't mind the finger at all. Great advice. :)
I like to make the herb butters but I'll put them in silicone ice trays and then I have perfectly proportioned Pat's that I can easily add to anything and I dont have to dirty a knife
The easiest way is just to harvest them and put them into your fridge. They will dry naturally. Then you can make them into power using your hand when you cook.
How do you keep them in your fridge? Do you keep them in a ziplock bag? How long does it take them to dry out this way?
Thank you for sharing very interesting, I love using only fresh herbs to cook but they don’t last very long in my fridge and I spend so much money for it to go to waste it’s so frustrating. Thank you again for sharing I’ll try this method right now... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩
That’s exactly why I bought an aerogarden. I was sick of throwing them away, or worse, when I do get around to making what I bought them for, they’ve gone bad.☹️
Those are all very good methods! new to you and liked! will be back for more tips!
So Lady Galadriel continues to teach her Elvish ways to us mortals? Nice!
Love your backsplash... r they tiles ?
excellent '''thanks. how about reserving lemongrass and mint ? can i dry it ? thanks
Preserving herbs in good salt works great too.
Our First time growing plant Oregano. It's great. Now our question's ? Should we ? Wash, Cut and cook fresh green oregano ? Or Dry the oregano first. Then cook with food. ? What the correct way to really get best teaste ?
Are the green bags special?
Hilah thank u, forgot that's what my mother did !!!!
Before freezing the coriander / cilantro, do you wash & dry it out?
I make an herb butter "log" for my turkey every year. 🦃🧡
Can we freeze 😮cilantro and parsley like you did with the chives? And can the cilantro be ok to use to make salsa after frozen ?
What would you suggest for oregano and thyme? Trying to preserve those two herbs
You’re funny. Really good information. Thank you
Can I chop parsley and dill and freeze the way you did with chives?
I cut and put in freezer bags and freeze
what is the best way to keep dill fresh for canning pickles
Do you have to worry about any potential for botulinum toxin when storing herbs in the freezer since it’s a low oxygen environment? I use them for sauces and dressings so I would not be cooking them from frozen, just putting them in my Ninja and making the sauce. Thanks for any info!
Hello! Can you use vegan butter?
Wait, I do have one question. After you freeze the chives and put them in a ziplock, must you continue to freeze them, or is that the point at which you dry them in a paper bag or something?
Putting the herbs in glass jars instead of ziplock bags, preserves their freshness and prevents freezer odor! Any empty glass jar will work perfectly, no need to use Mason or Ball jars and lids, unless you are freezing a liquid which will expand and break the jar.
BonjourMerci, tres interressant.
U remind me Phoebe from Friends.
Candy log roll...tee hee!
I was expecting "The summer season may be coming to an end but there's no reason you can't enjoy fresh MICROJIG" Wrong channel though.
I _still_ keep fucking waiting for it! Even though it's a different channel! xD
Steve's turned it into a viral ad, pretty much :P
But does it taste as good ?
Please can we start pronouncing the h in herbs. 🌿
Peaches Jackofski Hi there, the “H” is silent. The way she’s pronouncing it is the proper way. I use to think like you growing up but when I was teased I was corrected that the proper way of saying it is the “H” being silent. When saying it, sounds like “Urbs=Herbs”
Jo-ann Cintron thank you so much for replying to me and explaining, it just seems so irrational and strange to me. I’m Scottish, and we always pronounce the “h”, it’s so weird to hear it like like this-like I guess it is for you vice versa.
We pronounce the “h” in Australia as well. I never realised it was considered silent in the US, thought it was just an odd accent thing
Great if you want to dry one leaf at a time lol
Ha Ha you didn't mean to give you guys the finger there LOL🍃🥬
Great Tips there Hilah (unusual name) have to try the first two as already do the butter one. Thanks.
Ps Do you have a Tattoo on your right arm, kept seeing what looked like a number 1?

"I'll just eat it."
Voilà, frozen chives!
uniqe
isn't this guy from the woodshop making woodworking videos ?
Freezing can go for up to 6 month. That's what I do
I thought preserving herbs in vinegar was a valid option and will keep the herbs much longer.
Flavored vinegars are great, especially if you make a lot of vinaigrettes
Does the vinegar effect the taste?
i wonder if she knows that same way you dry out marijauna...
Can’t find paperbags anywhere…😢
That was a nice video with some really good information. And I wanted to just let you know that glass should never go in the freezer. It could explode when the door is opened. So make sure you don't encourage people to do that. I must admit I do put white wine in the freezer but set the timer 10 or 20 minutes. But never freezes it just gets really chilled. Great job though
What does a pirate say when she runs out of tarragon butter...?
Arrrrrrgh!!!
Great doctor like you are rare to found Dr odija on youtube I really appreciate your kind gesture towards my ailment called Hsv 1 & 2 . My health status has fully recovered & also , all my lost glory financially & materially has also been restored,,✅✅
"Herb" =P
Darn tootin! Always reuse that parchment paper!

Why erbs and not herbs ? Are you guys gangsters smoking the erb ~
"Herb is a loanword from French (modern herbe, pronounced [ɛʁb]). As with other French loanwords which have an h in the spelling, we don't pronounce this letter (as in French, where it's not pronounced). In British English, the h-sound was re-introduced to the word herb because of the spelling." -- Quora
