Herbs and Harvest

 

Herbs and Harvest

We aren’t great gardeners’, but we can grow herbs and kale like no body’s business!  Our absolute admiration to those who garden successfully.  Whether in the backyard for family enjoyment or en mass for the rest of us.  It truly is an art.

Ingredients

  • Kale
  • Rosemary
  • Basil
  • Parsley
  • Tarragon
  • Chives
  • Thyme
  • Mint
  • Cilantro
  • Sage
  • Lavender

Instructions

  1. Enjoy fresh herbs all summer and when the days start to cool, slowly start cutting down them down and after a quick rinse, air dry on tea towels.
  2. As per son J’s recommendation years ago, we clip the leaves off along with some tender stems, depending what you are working with and freeze in Zip Lock bags.
  3. Take out preferred amount and use in any recipe you want. Fresh is always better for garnish, but having said that, frozen herbs are much brighter than dried.
