We find that most often we are left with an overabundance and it's time to preserve them for use another time.
We have found the best way to do so is in our dehydrator. We do not use chemicals for fertilizer or pest control in our gardens and generally we try to keep the mindset to plant more than we need so the bugs get a taste too without losing all of our goods.
Step 1: Gently rinse your herbs.
Step 2: Pat dry.
Step 3: Remove dead leaves.
Step 4: Snip leaves off woody stems.
Step 5: Arrange loosely on dehydrator trays.
Step 6: Dehydrate 4-6 hours at 91* or the lowest settings possible.
Store in air tight containers for up to 6 months for maximum flavor.
