Drying Herbs

The oregano is growing like a weed in the kitchen garden, so it's time to harvest and dry some stalks.

My house is a bit too humid for air-drying the herbs we grow, so instead I use the oven to preserve them for future use. To do the same, set your oven temperature to 170F. Place a baking sheet with your herb stalks on the top rack, leave the door slightly open, and bake for 10-15 minutes, turning once. I shut off the oven and leave the sheet in overnight, and then crumble the leaves into an airtight container in the morning.

If completely dry the herbs should keep for six months.
