Using fresh sage: An ancient recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon "ground sage." I want to use fresh instead. What is the equivalent, finely chopped?

Thanks so much, everyone. ;o)

I agree with inpatskitchen. General rule is 3x fresh to 1x dried herb, so her 1/2 tbsp is 1.5 tsp or 3x the dried in your ancient receipt.

I think this is a bookmark we should all have tucked away on our computers to determine equivalencies for a lot of common ingredients: http://www.e-cookbooks.net/ingredeq.htm

According to this I thinks you need about 1/2 tablespoon fresh:
