On Preserving Herbs: Dry It, You'll Like It Senior Walk-In Center A small amount ot herbs goes a long way and that mileage can be increased by freezing or drying them According to Nancy Moore, senior Extension adviser. Home Economics for McHenry countyo. home-grown herbs can be stored for freshness that is as good or better than can be purchased Dried herbs are three to four times stronger than the fresh -plants. Most herbs reach their peak for flavor before flowering. That is the best stage to harvest herbs for-drying Early in the morning after the dew has dried is a good time to pick them. Mrs Moore says. Annual herbs can be cuP off at the ground Perennials can t>e cut about one third the way down the main stem To prepare plants for drying, remove blossoms from the herb plant and rinse the leaves on the stem in cold water to remove soil, dust or bugs Allow plants to drain on ab­ sorbent towels until dry The bag method of drying requires placing herbs when they are dry upside down in a brown paper bag and tying the stems. Leave 1 to 2 inches of the stems exposed This allows the oil to flow from the stems to the leaves, Moore says Place the bag in a warm, dry location In about 1 to 2 weeks, I The leaves become brittle. tap them free of the stems and the leaves will fall into the bag. The leaves can be stored in an airtight container away from the light. With the tray drying method, herbs are cleaned in the same manner, but the heavy stalks can be discarded. Put the leafed stems one layer deeo on a tray. The tray should be kept in a dark, ventilated room. Turn over the herbs occasionally for uniform drying. The leaves are ready for storage when they are dry and the stems are tough. The shelf life of many herbs is one to two years, but this period is shorter when herbs are exposed to light, heat and open air. Herb leaves keep their flavor best when they are stored whole and crushed just before use. Seeds should be stored whole and ground up as needed. Herbs also may be frozen Rinse herbs in cold water and blanch in boiling, unsalted water for 50 seconds. Cool quickley in ice water, package and freeze Dill, parsley, chives and basil can be frozen without blanching For more information con­ tact the Extension office. All residents of McHenry county are urged to use their local Extension office at 224 N Judd street in Woodstock.
