Once frozen I throw them in a double freezer bag and then remove them as needed for use. I think it allows the oils to stay more stable for a longer period of time. :-)

I wish I was drowning in it!! I have some but don't usually get enough to preserve it. Well, maybe a little this year. I have to grow it in pots as when I plant it in the garden the snails eat it all!!!
I love to make a Bruchetta, Fresh tomatoes, chopped, garlic, olive oil and basil. I love to eat it with bagel chips or tortilla chips and toss it on pasta, as well as the traditional on toasted bread.
Love using rosemary. I have it in pots as well. I need to find a place in the ground cause I use it faster than it grows, even though I have 4 plants. I love, love, love using Rosemary with chicken and Lamb. When making soups from Chicken carcases I toss in Fresh Rosmary, Fresh Thyme and Marjoram. Adds a great flavor!!!!
