Herbs are a great way to add flavour, colour and interest to a dish. Like a lemon tree, I think every house should have a rosemary bush. Once established, you literally do nothing but reap the benefits of being able to spike a leg of lamb with it or roast your potatoes on. Mint is another herb I just let go crazy in my garden. When it eventually flowers, it attracts the bees and, in the meantime, I’ve always got an abundance of mint for everything from a mojito to mint jelly. In the summer I have an abundance of more than just mint and rosemary and happily plenty of uses for the sage, thyme and basil that goes crazy. A great way to preserve these and create easy ways to capitalise on the flavour punch they provide is to make infused oils and butters.
