Cultivation

Marjoram is also known as Sweet Marjoram, Knotted, Pot or Winter Marjoram. It is available in dried leaves or ground. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Will keep for six months to one year.

Marjoram is an herb that has has a mild, sweet flavor similar to oregano ( it is closely related and of the same family - Origanum) with perhaps a hint of balsam. It is said to be “the meat herb" but it compliments all foods except sweets.

If you have an herb garden with an excess of basil, you can dry the leaves and store in a cool dry, dark place (dried basil will retain itsr flavor for six months). Add dried herbs at the beginning and during cooking.

While fresh marjoram is excellent with salads and mild flavored foods, it has the best taste and greatest pungency when they are dried. Marjoram has a slightly more delicate flavor than Oregano.

Marjoram because it is more delicate should be added toward the end of cooking so its flavor is not lost. Marjoram goes well with pork and veal and complements stuffing for poultry, dumplings and herb scones or breads.
