What's your favorite method for preserving and storing your herbs? Let us know in the comments!
Hands down, sun dry your basil! So much more flavor than dehydrator even on lowest setting. I've dried herbs for years, last year my dehydrated was full so I put basil out on towels and covered with a tiny netting tent, like you cover food at a barbeque...😄 And WOW, so much more flavor!!!
Good to know! What a great tip, thank you!
The car method is genius! 😁 finally another use for a car besides guzzling gas
Glad you like it! And it makes the car smell amazing 🤩
I love your dress!!!
Thank you so much!
I chop my basil in my food processor with olive oil and put it in ice cube tray. After they are frozen I wrap each one in Saran wrap and freeze in a ziplock bag. Absolutely hands down the best way to do basil.
I’d like to try that. Sounds like a good way to start many dishes!
You had me chuckling. The car. Of course! Who would'a thunk it?
So silly, I know, but it works!
I’m impressed, Never thought of drying in a vehicle. Everyone can do this! Thanks for sharing, I love growing my own herbs too. It’s very economical and fun. A big bang for your effort. Also that car is pretty cool, the best looking dehydrator I’ve seen! 💕😂🎉
I hope it was a helpful idea! Thanks you, it was my aunt’s beloved car!
Thank you so much for this information. Love lady.❤
You are so welcome, and Lady thanks you too!
nice tips! thank you! i do have one tip to get the bags "vacuum": when you nearly close the bag, dunk it in water with just the last inch of the bag dry, then close it up.
I love it! Thank you for the tip! I will do that.
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
I dried my herbs last year. This year I've put them into my freezer. Love your cigar way and using the straw for doing that. Also, the one putting them into bags for drying in your car. Great tips - Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I cut the branches and hang them in a dark reasonably warm place. Once the branches are pretty dry, I cut some of the big branches off and put the herbs in paper bags for a few days. Then I put the herbs into jars and open the jar each day until the herbs go firm again and close, and do this for at least two weeks, until curing is done.
That works too!
nice
video interaction is great ❤
Thank you!
Merci
You’re welcome!
I use my air fryer. It has a dehydrator setting.
Terrific idea!
The car idea is genius. I live in the desert southwest. In the summer I should have dried herbs in about an hour. lol
I bet you’re right!
Thank you! These are great tips!
You are so welcome!
Wonderful and detailed. Thank you!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you for watching!
Thank 😂for the great ideas❤
Thank you for watching!
Love the car method! I used to put bathtubs in there to dry..it's country but works lol. I presently use the other 2 methos...or put I a mesh bag to dry...problem is I forget to label..so I go by smell when I forget...
Awesome use of a bathtub! Yeah, I think labeling is a common problem. I know it is with me!
I couldn’t believe how you used the straw to suck out the air! I do the same thing!
It works!!!
Re: recipes w/o herbs
It may depend on the region where the recipe originated. In Italy, they actually use very little seasoning in their cooking because the ingredients themselves-tomato, peppers, cheese, etc. have so much flavor.
American-Italian cooking uses a lot of seasoning to compensate for the missing natural flavor.
That is a very good point. I still love my seasonings tho.
@@theladysgardenandhome Absolutely. Food in the US needs it for sure.
What do to preserve them like sage.
Thanks. Good video. Good drying. I use inexpensive 5 tier dehydrator and hanging method for garlic and some herbs. I use jars to keep herbs.
Those dehydrators do an awesome job and I see alot of people use them to dry fruit and veggies too. If I had the space, I'd love one!
what labels you use? The ones I bought don't stick well
Hi, here are the ones I use for my larger jars: amzn.to/3CynW6F
The Spice Jars come in a kit with the labels included: amzn.to/3WVNOS3
What size dissicant & where do you buy them
Hi Angelina - Thank you! I'm glad you asked that question because I linked a smaller size! I've been using the 30 gram size. I've added its link above to Amazon.
How long do you leave them in your car?
I usually bring them in some time in the late fall. That’s usually when I get around to storing them. Unless I need the earlier than that. It takes a few weeks for them to dry completely.
@@theladysgardenandhome Thank you! Sounds easy enough!👍♥️
Good bye
How do save your sage
Hi- I dry it the same way I do the basil.
