Drying Herbs from the Garden

We decided to dry some of our fresh herbs from the garden including sage, basil, and thyme in order to prolong their lifespan. Dried herbs can be stored in the cabinet for easy access and will not spoil like fresh herbs.

We used a dehydrator to dry our herbs. A dehydrator works by exposing food to low temperatures of heat for a long period of time in order to remove the moisture from the food. Our herbs dried over a period of 24 hours. Our friend Mr. Bruce came in to help.

We placed our dried herbs in ziploc bags to use in various recipes. Store them in a cool, dry place.
