Currently, I have some thyme in my garden that is ready to be harvested. I'm eager to collect the herbs, but I would like to know what method works best for removing those stubborn leaves.
Some have suggested using a fork, saying that I should put a sprig of thyme between the tines on a fork and peel the leaves off. This method doesn't really work for me. Someone else said to thread one piece at a time through a pasta measuring device, or even a colander, then collect the leaves that fall off. And while that does sound like a better idea, I imagine it would take forever doing it one strand at a time.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm all ears.
