Step-by-Step Guide to Air-Dry Dill
Drying your dill is a great way to preserve it for later use. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get the optimal flavor and aroma from your dill:
Step 1: Pick the Best Dill
If possible, choose fresh dill that still has its leaves and flowers attached. Not only will it make your dill look more attractive, but it will also preserve more flavor and aroma.
Step 2: Cut the Stems
Cut the stems of the dill into 1-2 inch sections. This will help the dill dry out quickly and evenly.
Step 3: Prepare the Strings
Cut a length of kitchen twine or string, about 2-3 feet long. This will be used to tie the dill bunches together so they can easily be hung for drying.
Step 4: Tie the Bunches
Gather a few stems of dill together and tightly wrap the string around the base. This will form the dill bunch. Repeat this process until all of the dill is tied into small bunches.
Step 5: Hang the Bunches
Once all the dill has been tied up into bunches, hang them upside down in a dry, airy location. Make sure that the bunches are spaced out and given as much circulation as possible.
Step 6: Store the Dried Dill
Once the dill has completely dried out, usually after 1-2 weeks, it can be stored in an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place and use as needed.
