- Cut the dill stalks
- Run the stems with the leaves in between your thumb and index. The leaves should easily separate from the stem, bunching up in between your fingers
- Gather the dill leaves into a pile
- Using a strainer, rinse the dill
- Drying the dill prior to freezing will help prevent ice crystals from forming around the leaves
- Place the dill in between paper towels and pat dry. Using a lettuce spinner to dry the dill beforehand will accelerate the drying process and reduce the amount of paper towels needed
- Once fully dried, place the dill in a zip lock bag, removing as much air as possible, and store in the freezer
- When a recipe calls for dill, simply remove the desired amount from the bag, and place back in the freezer
