And if you don't have a low humidity place, you can use your microwave
on the sage. Place the plucked leaves between two sheets of paper
towels and begin with 60 seconds, adding time until the leaves are
just dry enough to crumble. Place them whole in a sealed bag and
freeze.

I always begin my sausage with freshly picked sage that I "nuke" in
order to make it easier to crumble such that it mixes more easily and
evenly.
