Is it possible to preserve fresh cilantro by some other means than drying it? I bought some cilantro plants for the garden and if they produce more than I use fresh, I'm wondering what to do with it.

I wash it, let it dry completely(pat it dry or air dry) and then freeze it. It's wilted when it thaws but since I use it in cooking it's not a problem. I think the frozen tastes better than the dried stuff.  |

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if 'n when anything comes of these plants. If this summer's as dry as the last I won't have to worry about a surplus of anything from the garden. I ran the tiller (Shh! Our secret, OK?) across the garden today, but it's STILL a bit wet to work very well. If I can beat the rain tomorrow maybe I can get the tomato and pepper plants in.

I actually do the opposite of that. I chop all the leaves up and put them in an ice-cube tray and fill with water. I then toss the entire cube into my beans.
