Freezing Fresh Basil

By cmschnettler

Ingredients

• Fresh basil
• Olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Gather basil, wash and pat dry.
Remove leaves from stems.
Pause to enjoy the heavenly fragrance.
Place leaves in blender with a little olive oil-just enough to allow the blender to chop the basil.
If the basil doesn't chop and blend well with the olive oil, add a little more olive oil.
You want a predominance of basil and just enough oil.
Freeze the chopped basil and olive oil in plastic ice cube trays or in very small freezer containers. After the basil cubes are frozen, seal in a freezer bag.
