Add herbs to cooked foods such as stews, soups and sauces during the last hour of cooking. Uncooked foods such as salad dressings, fruits and juices may need more time for flavors to blend. Add herbs as long as pos sible before serving to these dishes. Herbs make nice houseplants in any sunny window. A few plants of several kinds of herbs will serve the needs of the av erage family. Next spring they can be planted outdoors. When harvesting sweet basil, marjoram, rosemary, saffron, thyme, sage, or summer savory cut when starting to flower. Hang the plants for drying in a warm, dry dark room. Brush flowering tops and pack in clos ed containers. Harvest anise, lavender, cara way, chervil and coriander on a dry summer day after seeds de velop. Place seed heads on frames of stretched cheesecloth or netting for air circulation. Place in cool shed or room. When dry, remove seeds from stems and seal in bottles.
