Flavor on Reserve

Four simple herb sauces to preserve your fall garden harvest

Every year at this time, I make four vibrant freezer-friendly herb sauces from cool season harvests, and highly encourage you to do the same. By dedicating an hour now, you can create intense, fresh flavors to keep in the fridge or freezer, instantly elevating your winter cooking. They are the ultimate win-win: a sustainable way to avoid waste and a shortcut to garden-fresh meals when the days are shorter and darker. All sauces will last at least six months when kept frozen in an airtight container.

Confession time: I own five freezers. As I’ve admitted before, I own canning equipment and adore a good mason jar but I’m just not yet a canner. I’m sure that will change as my orchard matures but for now, from my harvest kitchen to yours…enjoy!
