I love using herbs from my garden. As you know fresh is the best. As for keeping them through winter, I know you don't want to freeze them, but I freeze all of mine. I have found that when I tried to dry them they always tasted like dried grass. I even freeze my parsley and just toss it in whatever I'm cooking as well as my other herbs.
I have not found any good way to dry them and still having them tasting like the herb. Good luck on finding your answer...I'll check back and read what else comes your way.

like you i freeze, put in oils and such...but the easiest way to dry them ...is..i have a gas oven ..the pilot is always on...so i put the spices on a cooking sheet and leave in the oven for a couple of days...you have to check and turn them over so they can evenly dry out...then stemm and put in a sealed jar....
also as stated ..you can turn your oven on very low..but u have to monitor this carefully...you can burn and waste them easily if not.

roast it in an oven about 100C for 30mins
