One further question...

[kennyliza]

Is it OK to use fresh herbs from my garden, such as sage and thyme, or am I better off with dried. The reason I ask is that i intend to freeze some batches, and do not want the flavour to weaken after freezing. From a Freezing point of view, which is better?

Hi Liza

Fresh herbs are always preferred as the flavour is better, however please remember that if the recipe calls for dried herbs then you need to substitute it with about 4 times as much fresh.
Hope this helps
