Experienced housewives have long understood that it is much easier to freeze dill for the winter than to dry it, and even more so to grow it fresh.
But freezing doesn't just happen. You need to learn 3 tricks, thanks to which it will hardly be possible to distinguish frozen dill from fresh in winter.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to freeze dill.
Trick number one
There is no need to wash dill before freezing. The fact is that the greens actively absorb moisture, which will affect the taste and appearance after freezing.
It would be correct to choose clean and fresh branches for freezing.
Trick number two
You can freeze the greenery sprigs whole, but it is better to chop them.
Just don't cut it too finely, because when defrosted the greens will lose their taste and aroma along with the juice.
Trick number three
Perhaps the most important thing is the container. You don’t need to freeze dill in a large jar that you’ll have to take out of the freezer every time you need to cook something with greens. Temperature changes will affect the taste and quality.
Therefore, it would be correct to pack greens into small jars or bags.
