In the Garden: Summer Savory is a member of the mint family and orginates in southern Europe. Savory is grown year round. The winter-harvest is stronger and used in smaller quantities for the same taste as the summer variety. You can start summer savory by planting seeds directly into the ground after the last front. When harvesting, cut the herb, and hang it to dry before frost sets in.
In the Kitchen: Summer savory is an ingredient found in herbes de Provence:
Thyme
Chervil
Rosemary
Summer Savory
Lavendar
Tarragon
Marjoram
Oregano
Mint
Bay Leaves
Summer savory is preferred over winter savory for use in sausages because of its sweeter, more delicate aroma. Summer savory spice is often used in salt substitute seasoning blends, and as a support or replacement for thyme and sage. It's commonly used in a variety of meat and vegetable dishes to add an herbal complexity to the flavor.
