Post #7151456

I'm new to this forum. In the past couple of years, I've begun growing my own herbs. With the season coming to a close, I'd like to save a few of my herbs to use during winter. I know nothing about drying them or freezing them. Can someone clue me in? How can I freeze/dry them for future use. I have an electric oven and no food dehydrator. Most of my herbs will be used in stir fries, not soups. So freezing them in ice cubes wouldn't work for me I think. Can anyone help get me on the right track?

I have:

Spearmint
Lemon Balm
Bronze Fennel
Cinnamon Basil
Chives
Parsley

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
