Well here is the outcome...a bunch of rock solid frozen chunks of coconut oil with mystery herbs in them. Well not so much mystery herbs as much as I know what I had just not which is which because I sure forgot to label the trays.
What I did to make these great little cubes was cut up fresh herbs and place a few pieces..ok its quite a few pieces into my ice cube trays. Yes these are the same ones I use for my fruit cubes that you can read about here. Once I had the herbs in the trays, I melted some coconut oil; I have really bought into using this in place of butter for so many things, but I still do love my butter.....shh don't tell my doctor he says I have high cholesterol and need to cut out the butter for good. I would say that the cut up herbs fill about the bottom 1/3 of each cube. Once the herbs are in the trays I melted some coconut oil in a glass jar in the microwave and filled each cube only enough to cover the herbs. Once I had the coconut oil in there I just slid the trays into the freezer. Here is where I caution you to use some tape or make a note of what herbs are in each tray. If not you will have a ton of cubes and not know what is inside them. So right now I have a baggie full of cubes with unknown herbs, so I just grab a few and hope for the best. Note to self label the trays because you can't tell until you begin cooking and I really don't like dill on my beef!
I may like to think that I am supermom but this is a time when I was not on my game but just trying to keep things from going bad, because it isn't a great deal if you don't use it is my food motto!
