Spring Zing

Dried herbs add zest to any cuisine.  That’s what makes them such a great little gift.  Snip sprigs of sage, rosemary or any herb from your garden or window box and tie them into a bundle.  Hang upside down on a coat hanger out of direct sunlight and away from moisture.  Let dry for one to three weeks, or until brittle.  Crumble the dried herbs with your fingers or use a mortar and pestle to crush, then package in airtight bottles.
