Herb Harvest
This weekend I harvested a bunch of herbs from the garden and processed them for later use. Right now I have this beautiful sage tied in bunches and hanging in protective bags while it dries, this is going to make some really tasty stuffing on thanksgiving!
I let one area of my cilantro go to seed; this is also hanging in protective bags drying out so I can collect the coriander seeds. The flavor of the fresh seed is so sweet, pure and the aroma lingers in your mouth.
I have so much mint its silly. Trust me I have done everything I can to go through it one mojito at a time, but I’ve been losing the battle. I spent close to 3 hours picking mint leaves while sitting on the deck; it was a gorgeous day outside. I then had to wash, spin dry and process into simple syrup. Now I have mint leaves at their peak packed in syrup for mojitos or to glaze some roasted game meats, even for a simple dessert sauce.
