Morton & Bassett's Bay Leaves are a shelf stable spice that can be stored in ambient conditions and comes in a oz glass bottle. Bay leaves add dimension to a wide range of soups, sauces, and stews, especially those containing chicken and beef. Seafood benefits from steaming with a leaf or two. Break a leaf and add to your favorite marinade recipes. Essential for tomato sauces and stocks. Use 1/3 of a M&B bay leaf when recipes call for a whole leaf and remove before serving.
