I went to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday and bought some beautiful Thai basil and fresh mint. I washed them in cold water, dried them off and wrapped them in paper towel and placed them loosely in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer. After 3 days, the basil was starting to wilt already!!! I need a better way to keep my herbs alive and am excited about this jar idea. Read all about it here.

In short you place your herbs in jars of water in your fridge covered with a plastic bag. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Nothing is more sad them beautiful herbs gone limp and unused in the crisper drawer. We must stop the herb carnage.

This is what I do and the herbs stay fresh and ready for the next use. Remember to change the water just like you do with cut flowers.
