Here are the first dried herbs from my garden. Remember the
Spanish tarragon I was drying. Well I finally got around to putting the dried Spanish tarragon into some glass jars. Could this be the start of Linda's herbs?
Look how beautiful the color of the leaves are. The aroma is also wonderful. Most dried herbs I purchase at my local grocery seem old and brown, these are so fresh and green. I'll do some testing of the dried Spanish tarragon to see how it performs in actual recipes. I'll compare it to the fresh which I've already tried. I'm off on an herbal adventure, perhaps the future Linda's Herbs. So much to think about, labeling, sealing the jars and so on and so forth. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Those herbs look nice and green.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks, I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful these dried.
DeleteI've been thinking of a window herbal planter and using one of my planters next to the porch for herbs next summer instead of flowers ... fresh herbs make a wonderful difference ...
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, thanks, you will be rewarded one hundred fold with fresh herbs you grow in the garden and they are easy to grow and hardly need taking care of or get any bugs or anything, plus they are really good for you with trace minerals and vitamins.
DeleteThat sounds like a truly exciting new venture. And dried herbs over here are often pale shadows of their former selves too.
ReplyDeleteHi Elephant's Child, thanks, I am so happy I tried drying these, they look so beautiful. Now to test the dry form to see how it performs in my recipes.
DeleteThey'd make for good Christmas presents.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, I was thinking the same thing the other day, great minds think alike.
