IDEAS WITHHERBS
Harvesting and Drying Herbs
For Use Durinq the Winter

herbs in punches. Tie the
bunch together and place in
a paper sack. Cut a few
holes in the sack to allow for
ventilation. Be sure to label
all sacks as it is extremely
difficult to identify herbs
after they are dried. The
bags may be hung in the
attic or in any place where
there is good circulation of
air.
After the herbs are thor
oughly dry. they should be
stored in air-tight containers
away from direct sunlight.
The best method Of storing
the dried herbs is largely a
matter of convenience. We
prefer to store our herbs
stem and all-in sealed glass
jars until ready to use. If
space is a problem the leaves
can be stripped from the
stems and stored. In any
event do not crush the herb
leaf until it is used. as this
releases the volatile oils.
There is still another way
to preserve and store herbs
that is used extensively by
the Italians for preserving
basil. 1t is called the salt
method and from the de-
scl'iption of the finished prod
uct we have decided to try it
with certain herbs this fall.
The one herb We are partic-
ularly interested in trying is
dill-both the weed and the
head. While dill can be dried
fairly satisfactory by the
oven method it seems the
salt method would be even
better. The procedure is very
simple: place a layer of COM
mon table salt in a crock or
jar. add a layer of herb
leaves. then another layer of
salt and so on until filled to
about y inch from the top.
Take the leaves out as need

By SYLVIA WILLIAMS


There are two schools of
thought as to the best time
for harvesting herbs for win
ter use.
Some believe that the
proper time is just before the
herb comes into full flower.
At this time the herbs are
supposed to contain more
volatile oils. Others say it
is better to wait until after
the flowers have begun to
fade. For us, the pleasure
Of seeing our herbs in full
flower more than offsets any
slight loss of flavor in the
dried herbs.
Washing for Drying
The second controversial
subject is how to wash the
herbs before drying. Some
prefer to wash the leaves off
the night before with a gen.
tie spray from the hose. 9th
ers say to wash the leaves in
cool running water just be-
fore drying. This is a matter
OF preference and should be
left UP to the individual. We
have tried both methods and
obtained good results from
each.
The herbs that we have
found best for drying are:
Basil, marjoram, dill, oregano,
mint, lemon balm and chives.
Our rosemary, thyme and
parsley live through the win
ter so we prefer to cut it
fresh from the garden as we
need it. so do not bother to
dry it. If you plant another
sowing of parsley now you
Will have a good stand by
the time the cold weather ar
rives. If it is covered lightly
with a layer of leaves it
should be protected enough
for use all winter.
Method Drying Herbs
There are many ways to
dry herbs. The preferred
method is as follows: The
ideal time to gather herbs
for drying is in the early
morning after the dew has
evaporated. Cut the ANIMALS
to about 3 inches above
the ground. This allows for
another crop before frost.
Perennials should be cut with
the idea of keeping the plant
symmetrical. Either of the
two methods described above
is satisfactory for cleaning
the herbs. Just be sure they
are free from dust and sand.
Remove all dead or brown
leaves from the stems.
We have found from long
experience that the quickest
and best method of drying
herbs is to spread the cut
tings on a large cookie sheet
and place In a 250-degree
oven with the door open for
a period of about 10 minutes
or more. The dried leaves
should be crisp like corn
flakes. The amount of time
required to dry the herbs
depends a great deal on. the
weather conditions. On a
humid day a longer time is
necessary.
Anothert method that is
equally satisfactory is drying

ing salt. It Is fun to expert
ment. Be adventurous. try
a new herb each week. For
get those herb charts for
awhile. and try a few herbs
in various meats and vegeta-
bles not listed on the chart.
The main thing is to try q

the flavor the amount of
seasoning can be increased.

ed for seasoning and shake
on the excess salt. The salt
is supposed to take on the
flavor Of the herb and can
be used as seasoning salt
after the herbs are used.

We thought it might be
fun to take the various herb
salts that go well together
