Fresh Herbs!!!
These were the herbs when they were freshly trimmed from the garden, laid out to dry and labeled. I just finished processing them this weekend and getting them put up and .... it's time to harvest again! :-) Delicious ingredients for amazing creations to come!!!!!!
I realize that dried herbs are dried herbs but after processing these over the weekend, we were marveling at the fragrant clouds lingering in our kitchen. These beauties are SO much more fragrant and flavorful than the herbs we buy even in organic bulk! Just amazing!
If you don't have a garden and no room for an herb garden, I suggest combing your local Farmer's Market for fresh herbs in bundles and drying them at home. It is SO worth it to have these available when cooking! Our oregano went crazy this year - our Italian food will be beyond amazing this winter!
We're so excited!!!
