I'm no expert, but I think making sure the leaves are completely dried out before you jar them will be the best thing. They will keep and not get moldy.

Yes, that's the ticket! Be sure they are totally dry, and then you won't have to worry about mold!

I've done this, and it works out just fine. I've never had a problem with mold.

I just leave the lid off the jar. I do this with Rosemary and Bay. My spice rack has enough overhang so they don't get dusty. With mint I put it in the freezer. Works great in a tea stainer. (Mint has more moisture. And freezing breaks the cell structure, making it quicker to steep.)
