Can I bake with fresh rosemary from my garden?

Yes! We grow a massive amount of rosemary in our garden and within our landscaping just so we have an abundant amount to cook and bake with at all times. You can use it in the following ways:

  • Soup and stew seasoning
  • Mixed into melted garlic butter
  • Infused into olive oil
  • Casserole seasoning
  • Salad topping
  • Cooked with all meat and fish
  • Added to rice, stuffing, vegetables, couscous, pasta
  • Bake into biscuits and breads
  • Tea
  • Jellies, jams, sugar, and even cookies too

I absolutely love, love, LOVE the scent of rosemary and the flavor it adds to our food is even better! Whatever sprigs of rosemary we don’t use from our cuttings, we just place them in the refrigerator and use them within the next few days.
