What are some ways of drying or preserving cardamom?
Wow! Are you really growing cardamom? Commercial growers wash the pods well after harvesting and dry them either in the sun for three or four days or in heated rooms for about twenty hours. Surely this would work well on a small scale too. Please write again and tell us about growing this spice. Be sure to check out the article “All About Cardamom” for a delicious cardamom-pecan scone recipe. I have a big bunch of fresh parsley. Is there a way to freeze it? How do I dry it? Thank you–Maggie You might freeze your parsley by chopping it and laying it out in a single layer on a baking sheet before placing it in the freezer. Once it’s frozen then you can pour it into a bag. Only problem with this is that it will be mushy if you try to use it as you would fresh. You could use it in soups or other cooking with fine results. For drying, tie it into a bunch and hang it upside down in a dry place until it’s dried out. You could use it right away by making tabbouleh. Check for a recipe for this
