Dehydrated Oregano

 

Tip:  I drop my hydrated oregano (and other herbs) off of the dehydrator tray, and onto a piece of waxed paper.  I gently take the dried leaves off the stems.


I hold each side of the waxed paper, and with a canning funnel in the top of a quart canning jar, slide the dried herbs into the jar.


I do not crush the dried herbs.  I wait until I am cooking and then crush what I need.  It helps them retain flavor longer.


Another tip:  Check those lids you get on anything you do buy.  I saved a lid from a jar of organic mayo we bought over winter, and it fits perfectly on my quart canning jar.


It's a task, but I wash and dry all the trays before dehydrating another food in the dehydrator.

Happy Harvesting!
