Bush needs a trim. Any good ideas for what to do with the trimmings?
There will be far more than I can sensibly use for anything I can think of, unless I try and go into essential oils or some such thing (which is not beyond the realms of fantasy...). |

Make a rosemary infused vinegar to use for cleaning. Add some lemon peel while infusing for extra oomph.
Make rosemary infused olive oil to use in cooking - good for home fried potatoes, for example.
Dry, then use in small sachets as moth repellants, especially pleasant scent if combined with dried lavender. |

Any recommended recipes on that?
Chuck it all in a pan and heat gently is my guess, but what kind of proportions, what heat and for how long? |

In general I make a blended herb infused olive oil using thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Single herb oils are also nice.
Stuff a clean jar fairly full of clean, dry herbs. Add olive oil to cover.
NOTES: It is important that the herbs are completely covered by oil. Anything exposed will go moldy. Dry is also important. Use any quality of olive oil that would be used for cooking - need not be extra fancy first cold pressed virgin. Unless, that is, you will be using it as a dipping / finishing oil
Lay a piece of cling film over the surface, on the oil. Cap loosely and put in a dark cupboard for a month.
Strain into a clean jar. Discard the herbs. Store in a dark place away from heat. |
