It is getting to the time of the year when I begin drying and preserving my herbs. I am trying a different method this year. It is using the microwave to dry my herbs. I can do a small batch . You do have to be careful . I start with washing my herbs and letting them dry.
Then what I do this is: Depending on the size of the herb, I start with 5 to 10 seconds on high. You do have to be careful that the leaves do not burn. If I get a few , then I just toss them out.
When the leaves look mostly dry then I just set them out and let them air dry some. I can tell when they are ready to be stored . For this year so far I am storing these in marked plastic bags in a large mason jar.
