Pack into airtight bags for smoothies or soups. Watch our how-to video on freezing greens.<\/li>\n<li>Frozen Berries: Spread berries on a tray, freeze, then transfer to bags for easy use in desserts, oatmeal and smoothies. Watch our how-to video on freezing berries.<\/li>\n<li>Roasted Peppers: Char and peel peppers, then freeze them flat for use in sauces or sandwiches. <a href=\"https:\/\/anrcatalog.ucanr.edu\/pdf\/8004.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More information on preserving peppers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Drying and Dehydrating<\/h3>\n<p>Drying is one of the oldest ways to preserve food. You can use a dehydrator, oven, or even air-dry certain herbs and peppers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dried Tomatoes: Slice and dry in the oven at low heat, store in oil or airtight containers. More information on drying tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>Herbs: Bundle and hang basil, oregano, or thyme in a well-ventilated area, or use a dehydrator.

More information on making fruit leathers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Vinegars, Infusions, and More<\/h3>\n<p>Infusions and vinegars are a wonderful way to preserve herbs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Herb Vinegars: Infuse vinegars with sprigs of rosemary, tarragon, or chive blossoms for salad dressings, marinades, and <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/food-preservation\/lets-preserve-herbal-vinegar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flavored vinegars<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Compound Butter: Mix chopped herbs or roasted garlic into softened butter, roll and freeze for quick flavor boosts.<\/li>\n<li>Decorations for the holidays: Dry and string garland out of dried orange, lime, and lemon slices, cranberries, bay leaves, or pine sprigs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preserving the end-of-season harvest is a rewarding way to reduce waste and enjoy the flavors of your garden year-round, while allowing you to enjoy the freshness of summer and fall throughout the year.
