Dried Herbs
Lori shared a wonderful idea for using up herbs before the rot. She used a $3.00 garage sale dehydrator to dry her herbs. She also tells you can dry them without a dehydrator.
I used the oven todry my herbs.
Kelli from There’s No Place Like Home, shared a recipe for freezer pesto. I’d love to hear about some of your methods for preserving fresh herbs?

Kathy makes a good point. Why heat up the kitchen if it’s not neccessary? Hang the herbs and enjoy the pleasant aroma as they dry naturally.

I grow a lot of herbs and they usually grow huge here in Florida, lol. I dry them by cutting bunches and tying them with kitchen twine. I hang them from various places throughout my kitchen…top corners of my doorway, upper cabinet knobs, etc… I let them dry, crumble them and freeze most of it to replenish my jars in the cabinet.

I also make pesto with the only herbs we have planted this year (basil).

I have never tried growing my own herbs. It must be so rewarding to have the fruit of your labors there to use in your kitchen.

What a neat post! I have lots of basil I want to do something with so my plants can keep growing before a frost comes-thank you for this idea!
