Easy Ham Casserole

If you don’t have a green thumb, fresh chives are available fresh in most markets year round. Choose fresh, uniform sized, evenly green leaves with no signs of wilting, yellowing, or drying.

Chives are also available frozen and freeze dried for instant convenience. If you have an abundance of chives, you can try drying your own at home.

To freeze dry chives, place chopped chives on a cookie sheet and place them uncovered in the freezer. When the moisture has evaporated and they are dry and brittle, transfer to a glass jar and seal tightly. Store in a dark cool place for up to 6 months.

Store fresh chives in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for up to a week. Don’t wash until ready to use them, as too much moisture will promote decay.
