[Ag-eq] Chives

[Susan Roe]

Tracy,

You can do one of two things with your chives.  Either dry them or freeze 
them.  A good way to freeze them is to chop or cut them into 1/2 inch pieces 
and put them into ice cube trays and then fill them the rest of the way with 
water and freeze.  Once they are good and frozen, I'd give them a week, take 
them out of the tray and either put them in a container or freezer bag back 
in your freezer.  If you want them for soup or to cook with other 
vegetables, just pull out a cube and toss it in your cooking pot.  If you 
want them in a salad, take one cube and sit it on a paper towel in a small 
bowl and let thaw.  The paper towl will soak up the water and you can then 
put your chives on your salad.

You can also do this with other herbs and even mix herbs that you like to 
use cooking together.
