If you want to make the most of your garden herbs this year here is an easy idea to make them last even longer! I decided to dry my herbs and jar them to use over the winter. It took about two weeks to dry them. All I did was cut them off the plant and place them in a small basket to dry. You can lay them on the counter or hang them, the goal is to allow the herbs to be exposed to air all around them.
Once they had dried completely, I labeled a few jars and crumpled the herbs in them. They smell amazing and will be wonderful to use in various dishes this winter. It made me glad to not have to throw out perfectly good herbs!
These looks gorgeous and are such a good idea. Thanks for sharing! Thumbs up from a fellow foodie! ~ ayoungfoodie.wordpress.com
last year I learned the hard way on how not to store herbs…I just stuck them in containers without drying them first, and they all molded…this year I will dry first 🙂
