STORING SUMMER HERBS.
A good supply of summer herbs enables you to make a herb omelette, veal stuffing or foremeat whenever you went to. It is important to pick the herbs on a dry day. Also, although you should wait until the dew is off them, you should not allow them to have become overheated by the noonday sun. Look them over carefully, picK off any decayed leaves, and spread them out on sheets of paper or hang them up in small bunches. They may be dried in a cool oven with the door open, if necessary, and their colour lasts better if they are dried fairly quickly. When the herbs are quite ary, strip the leaves from the stalks and rub them through a coarse sieve. Put them into perfectly dry bottles or jars and cork them tightly. In this way they will keep better and be cleaner than if you merely hang then; in bunches.
