I love Rosemary too, but a little goes a long way! We only cook with it every once in a while, but I love to brush my hands over the plant every time I walk outside. The fragrance is SO nice!
I decided this year that I needed to harvest and save more of my herbs. Here is what I did with the Rosemary: I picked and chopped up a few handfuls of the leaves, added a couple of cloves of minced garlic, and then mixed it up with softened butter. I rolled the butter into a log, wrapped it in wax paper, and chilled for an hour. Then, when it was hard, I sliced it into little "coins" and stored them in a ziploc baggie in the freezer. Now we'll have Rosemary-garlic butter pats to use on potatoes and stuff through the winter!
