Hi Kim,  good to hear from you.  Are you with us ?

I added a generous amount to a Bill Granger biscuit recipe in place of a zest.  very nice ,  I added about a tablespoon full.  Will post recipe when I have a chance.

This worked a treat Chookie.  After milling down as much as I could in the TM, I put them through my spice grinder which turned it into silky powder.  I'm thinking of keeping most of it in the freezer to prolong the flavour.  Thanks for thinking of this Chookie.

JulieO,  I think the spice grinder is a terrific idea.  Must try it.  Thanks.

I tried 125 for 2 hours, single layer, didn't work for me...

What a shame CP.  I dried them in my dehydrator on 50C, they were still yellow at the end of drying. I think the oven is too warm with certain things.

I had chump chops for dinner last night and I made a rub of Rosemary, Lemon dust, salt and pepper, let them sit for about half an hour before I cooked them.   Very nice.

CP,  if you have a window that the sun come in,  you could put them on a wire rack and try drying them like this.  May take a few days,  but this is how they used to dry the vine fruit in northern Vic.
