Thanks for teaching me how. :o) One funny thing--I thought I was making TONS of dried basil. I made like 2 tablespoons! HA!! You weren't kidding when you said how much basil shrinks down!Elle Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802857137836550901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820369028684428764.post-12319929286472965062010-08-05T23:55:24.938-04:002010-08-05T23:55:24.938-04:00I had to come back to this to remember what to do-...I had to come back to this to remember what to do--I'm drying basil tonight!Elle Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802857137836550901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820369028684428764.post-67448869530964650792010-07-27T16:37:59.104-04:002010-07-27T16:37:59.104-04:00@Donald - the surgical nurses always like you best...@Donald - the surgical nurses always like you best.<br /><br />@McVal- if you keep the leaves in airtight container in cool dry place they should last until next growing season or until you use them up (usually the case around here). If the recipe calls for a teaspoon dry then yes you crumble it up.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326484192966920116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820369028684428764.post-32039709342426002862010-07-27T12:46:48.506-04:002010-07-27T12:46:48.506-04:00Awesome post!

I've got a dehydrator but haven't used it on anything more than fruits...<br />And how do you use them dried? When a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon, do you just crumble up a leaf into a teaspoon measurer?McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820369028684428764.post-35106577700351803522010-07-27T09:16:43.838-04:002010-07-27T09:16:43.838-04:00In re: surgical towels.
