Preserving herbs

This is my first year that I am going to try and save herbs to use throughout the winter, what is the best way of preserving herbs??

Right now I am trying the sun dry method...no idea if it is going to work or what the flavour will be, but it seemed the easiest.

What are other methods that I should try.

TIA
Lisa

I just heard on a cooking show the other day that some of them can be frozen in little ice cubes. Then you just throw them into a soup pot to thaw and season the soup. Never did that myself, so have no idea how that compares with drying them.

Some years ago I had a neighbor named Herb. He held up real good right till the last. I have no idea what his secret was though.

Jeeeze! I just couldn't let that one go. SORRY!
