class=\"code\">-AMAZONPOLLY-ONLYWORDS-END-<\/code><br \/>\n<em>Dill<\/em>\u00a0is an annual herb in the celery family Apiaceae.\u00a0<em>Dill<\/em>\u00a0is grown widely in Eurasia (Europe &amp; Asia) where its leaves and seeds are used as a herb or spice for flavoring food.<\/p>\n<p>It has been growing quite well this year, due to the heat and regular watering\u2019s of gardens and farms. Fresh Dill goes a long way in foods vs dried.<\/p>\n<p>My dad always had a 3 Season Garden and my brother and I would tend to it, by digging the grounds, weeding, planting and harvesting. We would taste veggies straight from the vine.<\/p>\n<p>My taste have definitely grown up from a kid as I have tasted\/eaten a plethora of crazy veggies and fruits that I have never imagined.<\/p>\n<p>I recently harvested quite a bit of Dill and chopped it all up. Here I incorporated it into 3 different recipes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Dill Butter<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 stick butter, salted or unsalted, softened<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; 3 tsps. Dill, finely chopped<\/p>\n<p>Mash\/Stir dill and butter thoroughly. Spoon into small dish, cover and chill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Dill Cream Cheese<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8 oz block cream cheese, softened<\/p>\n<p>1 T. Dill. Finely chopped<\/p>\n<p>Mash\/Stir dill and cream cheese thoroughly. Spoon into small dish, cover and chill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Dill Sour Cream<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00bd C. sour cream<\/p>\n<p>1 T. Dill, finely chopped<\/p>\n<p>Stir dill and butter thoroughly. Spoon into small dish, cover and chill.<\/p>\n<p>Dill Butter can be used on baked fish of any type, spread on bagels, top baked or mashed potatoes, toast and even used in baked goods.<\/p>\n<p>Dill Cream Cheese is great on bagels as is or pictured here topped with smoked salmon, capers, tomatoes &amp; red onion.<\/p>\n<p>Dill Sour Cream is great on baked potatoes, stirred into mashed potatoes, topped on salmon (as pictured), or as a dip for chips\/veggies.<\/p>\n<p>Leftover dill can easily be frozen as is or mixed with olive oil or butter and frozen into ice cube trays and stored for a later use.<\/p>\n<p>I went light on the measurement for the Dill with the butter, because the flavor comes through greater than it does with cream cheese and sour cream.<\/p>\n<p>Always taste your fusion in the cold stage as well in the cooked stage. You will notice the flavor changes slightly. It all comes down to taste in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Bon Appetite!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?cat=2360\">For more fresh recipes and articles by <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?cat=2360\"><strong>Joe<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?cat=2360\"> Scrizzi click here&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?post_type=adverts_posts&p=7036\" class=\"read-more\">Click here to read more... <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[69,2360],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-valley","category-joe-scrizzi"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Dill-the-herb.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102173"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=102173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/102178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=102173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=102173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=102173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
