Tips for saving Spices
Flavoured Oils: For left over spices you can place them in a nice jar and cover the m with olive oil where the y will keep for months ready to use.
Flavoured Butter: Mix fresh spices with soft butter. This can be stored in the freezer until needed
Flavoured Salt: run the spice leaves in the mixer with salt. The y will keep for years and give you a great flavour anytime the fresh herbs are called for and you don’t have them
