I have a quart of dill seed that I harvested. Now

[WhiteTara]

What do I do with it? So far, I have one cucumber. I have a feeling it might over power that lonely little cuke.

What can I do with it? Dill up some vinegar? What would that do? Okay, I'm out of ideas. Helllllp! Thanks.
A call out to the best cooks I know. :hi:

1. Well, just remember

if you dry it really well, then package tightly, it will keep in a cool dark place about 2 years minimum, in the freezer up to 5 very, very well sealed (like vacuum sealed).

So, you can wait a while to use it.

Maybe make up some small jars, about 2 ounces each, for holiday gifts?

4. I froze it today and dated it. I hope to have

more than one cuke.

6. and dilly ham balls

I've made this with dill seed, despite the fact that it calls for weed.

Ingredients
1 pound ground fully cooked ham
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill or 3 teaspoons dried dill, divided
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup water
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
Hot cooked noodles
Directions
In a bowl, combine ham, bread crumbs, onions, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried), milk, egg, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Shape into 1-in. balls.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Brown ham balls, adding remaining butter and oil as needed. Remove ham balls to a serving dish; cover and keep warm.
Pour ham drippings into a saucepan; blend in flour. Gradually add water and stir until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Add sour cream and remaining dill and pepper; heat through, but do not boil. Pour over the ham balls. Serve over noodles. Yield: 6 servings.
