How to use fresh, home-grown sage to make traditional rubbed sage!

With American Thanksgiving right around the corner and Christmas not far behind, I thought I'd share a recipe for how to make rubbed sage. Sage features prominently in both Thanksgiving and Christmas meals (usually springing up in stuffing or sausages et cetera) and it's one of my favourite herbs.
Rubbed sage is ordinary dried sage that has been rubbed gently to fluff the edges of the leaves or into a fine, fluffy powder. The second way tends to be what's sold commercially--fluffy clouds of sage great in baked goods like savoury scones. But I love sage and prefer it to be a bit less airy, so you'll notice in this recipe that I don't rub the sage as much as you might have expected. Feel free to continue to rub your sage until you're left with a fine powder if that's how you prefer it.
