Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Gene, I've tried drying Chives and was disappointed. They have no flavor when dried. It is very easy to keep a pot of Chives indoors on a sunny window. I have both reg. Chives and Garlic Chives growing in pots. Very easy to snip some when needed.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Chives are pretty tasteless dried. The best way to preserve them is to cut them small, put them in ice trays (you know, those things that were for ice before ice makers?) and fill the trays with water and freeze them. I take the frozen chive cubes and put them in a freezer bag to store them. To use them, simply put the cubes in some warm water, and there you go, fresh chives. They have all the taste!
