Sure! Here are eight different ways you can preserve fresh herbs:

**Freezing**: Chop your herbs and mix them with a bit of olive oil or water, then pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. You’ll have handy herb cubes for cooking later!

**Drying**: Hang your herbs upside down in a cool, dark place until they’re completely dry. Once dried, store them in airtight containers. They’ll last for months!

**Herb Salt**: Mix chopped fresh herbs with salt and spread it out on a baking sheet to dry. Once it’s dry, store it in a jar. It adds flavor to your dishes!

**Herb Oil**: Blend fresh herbs with olive oil and strain it into a bottle. You can use it for cooking or as a salad dressing. Just make sure to keep it in the fridge!

**Vinegar Infusion**: Place fresh herbs in a jar and cover them with vinegar. Let it sit for a couple of weeks, and you’ll have a tasty herb-infused vinegar for salads and marinades.

**Pesto**: Make a big batch of pesto using your herbs, then freeze it in small portions. It’s perfect for pasta or sandwiches later on!

**Herb Butter**: Mix softened butter with finely chopped herbs, then roll it into a log and freeze. You can slice off pieces as needed for cooking or spreading.
