Penelope Says: Tips For Storing/Saving Basil

Penelope Tips:

Today 

Storing/Saving Basil





 

Instructions:

Clip fresh Basil

Wash, clip/chop, place in ice trays or any freezer containers like the one pictured above.  

Fill compartments 1/4 full of chopped basil

Fill those compartments 3/4 full with water or olive oil

Freeze  overnight and then place cubes into a freezer bag

Easy to use:  Just pop one out for use in your favorite recipes

Good in sauces, roasts.  Pretty much anything that you would use fresh basil in.

** Note** 

There is a little brown streak that happens in the cube.  Some say that if you use olive oil it cuts down on the browning.

 Thanks Penelope!
