Thyme

A member of the mint family, thyme is a small perennial plant with tiny dark leaves and a hearty flavour. McCORMICK Thyme Leaves add warmth and a bold aroma to meat, stews, chicken, game and stocks. Thyme is also used in a citrus vinaigrette for spinach salad or in almost any marinade for chicken or fish. Surprisingly, thyme is delicious in desserts like poached pears and lemon puddings.
