I love mint. I have only two different ones. Peppermint and chocolate mint. I have been lazy and not collected and dried so then I am without once it dies down.

Do you think the microwave method would be just as good? @digitS' suggested the hanging to dry for other herbs

i have tried many different kinds of fruitcakes... there's a place up north that i used to hang out and help them and such and they made all sorts of things. (see my stubbed toes thread in the beginning...)

It is such a waste of time. I'll be in later

i don't have a fruit cake page or recipe. the stubbed toes thread you've posted to recently. if you put that in alone and clicked search titles only it comes up as the only item found... i was pointing to that just for general information about when i used to hang out with the monastery guys who make a lot of different kinds of fruitcakes. i've helped make them and sampled them and worked on new recipes, etc. not something i do now though. it was a long time ago. <waves fingers back then>

That wikihow is very comprehensive!

This climate is semi-arid. It is very easy to dry herbs by hanging them under the outdoor deck roof. Sometimes, they need a little more time spread out on paper towels in the kitchen.

I can imagine the scent if I used our dehydrator. It would have to be outside! I had no idea that it could be dried in a microwave.
