Rosemary Stems - Let's Make 'em Useful

For those of you who have signed up for our enewsletter you received a hint at how to use rosemary as a shampoo as well as flea tick repellent for your pets. As promised now what do we do with those leftover stems we took the leaves off of.

Those stems, I'm talking the woody kind here, are perfect for skewers if you like to grill, or cue out as some prefer. Simply use the stem as your skewer and this is great with lamb or veal as the stem does have the essential oil in them and will impart that heavenly rosemary fragrance and taste into your food while cooking. Nice thing about the skewer method is the oil is being released into the middle of the meat since the wood is touching there.

Another use is to use the stems as kindling for any fireplace you may have. Collect and save so when you light up the chimney you can also add the delights of the scents to your home.


How's that for being an environmental recycler????
