Preparing Parsley for the Pantry

By Denise McCann - Photos by John D. McCann


 

Our garden was full of Parsley which we like to dehydrate and bottle for the pantry.  It lasts for the whole winter-spring time span (and even longer), so we never have to buy it (this goes for other things like oregano, savory, etc.).
 

 

This is a half bucket of parsley from the garden. 

 

After I separate the leaves from the stem, I place the leaves in a bin, and take them to the sink for washing.

 

 

Processed and ready for washing. 

 

After washing, I break the leaves down into smaller pieces and lay them on a dehydrator tray.

The trays then go into the dehydrator, for about 6-8 hours at low temperature.

We get many, many jars like the one shown in the photo above.  There is just nothing like being self reliant!

 

We hope you enjoyed this article and, as always, Be Prepared To Survive!
