The savory sweetness of dill leaves is excellent for flavoring vegetables, salads, vinegars, mayonnaise and other sauces, and breads. Dill also enhances chicken soup and dairy products such as butter, yogurt and yogurt cheese, sour cream, cr me fra che, and cottage cheese. Its flower heads and seeds are shown off deliciously in tart and pungent dill pickles. The dried seeds and chopped leaves also lend character to beets, spinach, green beans, celery, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, and potatoes. To best preserve the flavor of dill, instead of drying its leaves freeze bunches in self-sealing freezer bags.
Chop sprigs as needed and return the unused portion to the freezer.
Dill's essential oils are also easily captured and preserved when infused in white-wine vinegars. Read our Privacy Policy . Inc. All rights reserved.
