Culinary herbs; their cultivation, harvesting, curing and uses culinaryherbsth00kain Year: 1912 ( 24 CULINARY HERBS drying and infusing, may be secured when the plants seem ready to flower, the harvest being made as soon as the dew has dried and before the day has become very warm. The leaves of parsley, however, may be gathered as soon as they attain that deep green characteristic of the mature leaf; and since the leaves are produced continuously for many weeks, the mature ones may be removed every week or so, a process which encourages the further pro- duction of foliage and postpones the appearance of the flowering stem. To make good infusions the freshly gathered, clean foliage should be liberally packed in stop- pered jars, covered with the choicest vinegar, and the jars kept closed. In a week or two the fluid will be ready for use, but in using it, trials must be made to ascertain its strength and the quantity necessary to use. Usually only the clear liquid is em- ployed; sometimes, however, as with mint, the leaves are very finely minced before being bottled and both liquid and particles employed. Tarragon, mint and the seed herbs, such as dill, are perhaps more often used in ordinary cookery as infusions than otherwise. An objection to decoc- tions is that the flavor of vinegar is not always desired in a culinary preparation, and neither is that of alcohol or wine, which are sometimes used in the same way as vinegar.
