Drying to Preserve


Drying Herbs in Microwave
From page 30, September/October 2011, Cooks Illustrated has a tip about drying herbs in the microwave.
In their experiment neither cilantro nor parsley were used.  They placed the herbs in a single layer between two paper towels and microwaved on high power for one to three minutes.
I loaded basil between the paper towels and it took much longer, so a little patience and following the directions would have saved me time and energy.

Again, here’s a link for some great information from the National Center for Home Preservation:
