Wondering what to do with that abundance of garden-fresh herbs you've carefully tended all summer long?

No worries. You can enjoy fresh herbs year-round by drying or freezing. They won't have quite the quality of fresh-picked ones, but they can still bring a kiss of sunshine to many dishes even in the doldrums of winter.

Here is a rundown on using and storing fresh herbs:

Using

Use 1 tablespoon fresh herbs if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon dried. Add the fresh herbs near the end of cooking so they don't lose their flavor.

Mix fresh chopped herbs with mayonnaise for an herb spread. Or toss fresh herbs in salads. You can also add fresh chopped herbs to olive oil and serve with fresh baguettes.
