I've had a bumper crop of volunteer dill and cilantro. I would like to
dry some of the dill to use throughout the year. When I pulled some up
and turned them upside down to dry, the foliage all turned brown. I
presume you must need to use some low heat or something. Anyone
experience out there?

Thanks!

We have a food dehydrator that works well in Humid S. Jersey.
I have a friend who took the seats out of a junk car fitted it with wire
mesh and in full sun controlled the temp via the windows. Lost some
peaches but it did what he wanted. He also used an old ice box to smoke
his eel's. Frugal kind of guy.

Fire pit was 10 feet away and piped in to cool the smoke. All metal
no plastic. Was good with Aquavit and perogies.
