To successfully store fresh dill, spritz whole stems lightly with a fine spray of water, wrap loosely in paper towels, and place in a sealed zip-top plastic bag. Store the dill in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. It should last up to a week and perhaps even longer.
What is the best way to preserve fresh dill?
- First, wash the dill in cold water and shake or pat dry.
- Then lay the sprigs out on a cookie sheet and pop them into the freezer to flash freeze them.
- When the dill sprigs are all frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and return it to the freezer.
How do you store fresh dill long term?
For the dill, you plan to use in the next week or so, place the stems in a water-filled jar, as though they were cut flowers. This is an easy way to keep many herbs fresh for up to a week. The remaining dill can be preserved using one of the following methods: freezing, drying, or in a prepared vinegar.
