Hi Cindi ! This is something so easy to do during the summer or on a pretty warm day. I rinse off my fresh herbs, remove the stalks (since they retain a lot of moisture), carefully pat them with paper towels to remove more of the moisture, let them air dry for 30 minutes on a paper towel, and then place them onto a metal cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Last step, put them in a hot car with the windows rolled up. The herbs usually dry up pretty well within 2 days and they look beautifully green and fresh. All you have to do is crush the leaves and store in airtight jars. I refill previously purchased jars that have had herbs in them and they already have labels. I have done this with parsley, oregano, basil leaves, and celery leaves. It works great ! Did you know that you can also bake cookies in your very hot car ... only do this on a very hot day with no humidity.
