Any ideas on how to keep rosemary,ie freeze it or dry it out.
I gave some to a friend,she put it in the freezer,and when she wanted to use it,the fragrance had gone,and it had turned black.?

Drying it is the best way to keep it but store it in an airtight jar, just rub the leaves off the stems when dry.
It does not keep very long so check each time you want to use it.

How about taking a cutting and giving it to her.Then she would have her own supply to hand.Rosemary strikes vey easily.

I will only have Rosemary Miss Jessop's Upright in my garden. It grows narrowly vertical and given a decent stake early on and tied in regularly will grow to around 6 ft, looking rather like a dwarf conifer. I have found other varieties sprawl open and then split in the centre.
