would have never thought to put herbs in salt.... such a great thing.. thank you!!.. I do vanilla sugar like that.. all my holiday baking is done with that and no one knows why my baked goods are so good.. will try this for sure with my basil

It's the little things that can make a big difference in a recipe, that's for sure. The vanilla sugar sounds delish.

Such good information. I haven't tried drying herbs, but I think I can do this!

GREAT article Tee, thank you so much.

I learned a LOT! GREAT tutorial

Tee, thank you for another great article.

I am definitely going preserve some basil and French tarragon in salt. I never thought to try herbs using the salt method of preserving!

it makes a huge difference Tee.. take the bean split it.. scrape out the seeds.. I cut the pod up into pieces.. stick all of it in a container with sugar and shake it up to mix now and then.. 7 weeks later you have the best sugar you can bake with!!!... I use it in all my cakes and Christmas cookies.. and just skip the extract .. sooooo good

Thanks Sandi, Chris and Vic.

That sounds scrumptious, Allison. I must give it a try.

really is the best way to get the bang for your buck with beans
