I pulled up all the basil in the vegetable garden and picked the good leaves off of the plants. I have two plants left in the herb garden which I will leave until the frost gets to them.
I washed the leaves in the prep sink then ...
... put them in the salad spinner.
I coarsely chopped them in the food processor adding some olive oil to coat the leaves and ...
then put it all into one ziploc bag which I flattened as much as I could. This went into the freezer flat.
When I need some basil this winter I'll open the bag and break off a bit to use. How easy!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, also, for visiting my blog. I use Liquid Fence, too, to keep the deer away. It works for me. Pam
Hey this is great, I was just looking at my basil thinking what am I going to do with you?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've wondered how to preserve my basil. This is it!
