Freezing my Basil.

‎09-23-2013 08:57 PM

Hi Everyone,

Getting cool here in the East and I want to salvage what's left of my basil. I have two big pots on our deck. I'd love to save for pesto or sauces during the winter months. I've made and frozen my pesto before, but never just the basil itself. I've seen it done in a few ways. One chopping and then placing in ice cube trays and covering with water until frozen solid. The basil was then dumped into a Ziploc. I also think I saw Ina Garten freeze JUST the chopped basil-no water-in the trays.

Anyone have an opinion on which of these works best and why? Or a different way of keeping my basil for the next few months?

TIA{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}
