Due to the warm (So far) winter my Parsley has gone mad.
any ideas on storage of leaves drying and use would be appreciated.

Wash, dry and freeze. When you need some, just take it out and crumble
it (still frozen) until you have am much as you require. No need to
chop it.


And it's not worth drying it: only freezing preserves the flavour.


With regard to this, I found some small red packets of frozen herbs in
Sainsbury. I can't remember the name but they're like mini ice cube trays
and I remember garlic and parsley being among the herbs frozen. They're
very convenient to use and would be good for people who don't grow their
own.
