Storing herbs for winter


The  huge bush of rosemary in my garden needs some trimming.


Too bad I can't share the smell on my blog.




Even my cat loves the smell.


Wash the twigs, pat them dry with some kitchenpaper.
Spread the twigs on some baking paper.


Oven at max. 50 ° for several hours untill totally dry and crisp


Bottlecorks are not only used for winding some threads here...
but also to keep the oven a little bit open, so moist can get out.


Rip off and chop !
Store and enjoy with recipes that can be found
here, and here ...

Wonderful idea.
I love the smell of rosemary...

Maybe I will let all my balcony plants succumb to the cold and just die :( We have no space for plants in our apartment, sadly.
