If your are making a bouquet garni to use in a recipe, unless you are getting the herbs fresh from your garden, chances are high you will have more herbs than you need for your recipe. But can you freeze more for later?
Yes, you can make extra bouquet garni with your leftover herbs to save them for later uses. And they will last for a year in the freezer.
To make bouquet garni for the freezer, take a sprig of thyme, a sprig of parsley and a bay leaf and tie them together with kitchen twine or thread. Continue making them until you run or of fresh herbs.
Place the tied bouquet garni in either a plastic freezer bag or a sealed freezer container, and level it with the date. They will keep fresh in the freezer for up to a year.
To use them from frozen, you simple need to add them to the soup, casserole or the dish you are making, as they do not need to be thawed first
