43. Drying Herbs

Fresh herbs are preferable to dried ones, but as they cannot always be obtained, it is most important to dry herbs at the proper seasons:

Basilis in a fit state for drying about the middle of August
Burnetin June, July, and August
Chervilin May, June, and July
Elder Flowersin May, June, and July
Knotted Marjoram during July
Lemon Thymeend of July and through August
Mintend of June and July
Orange FlowersMay, June, and July
ParsleyMay, June, and July
SageAugust and September
Summer Savouryend of July and August
TarragonJune, July, and August
Thymeend of July and August
Winter Savouryend of July and August

These herbs always at hand will be a great aid to the cook. Herbs should be gathered on a dry day; they should be immediately well cleansed, and dried by the heat of a stove or Dutch oven. The leaves should then be picked off, pounded and sifted, put into stoppered bottles, labelled, and put away for use. Those who are unable or may not care to take the trouble to dry herbs, can obtain them prepared for use in bottles at the green-grocer's.
