DIY Herbal Butters

This Tutorial Demonstrates How to Make Herb Butter Cubes

— February 16, 2016 — Lifestyle
This tutorial from 'SoFabFood' demonstrates how to preserve leftover herbs by making freezable herb butter cubes. The tutorial is ideal for urban gardeners who are looking for a simple way to enjoy fresh summer herbs all winter long.

The tutorial is simple to follow and only involves two ingredients. Consumers simply combine the herb of their choice with butter or olive oil and then pour the resulting mixture into an ice cube tray. Freezing the compound butter in small cubes helps to preserve the herbs so that they can be enjoyed at a latter time. Since the herb butter can stay frozen for up to six months, consumers can add the cubes to their favorite dishes all winter long.

With the rise of urban gardening, many consumers are looking for different preservation techniques to get the most out of their home-grown herbs and vegetables.
