another way to store basil

[Guest guest]

Another way to store cut Basil for future use. Chop up your basil and put

it in a freezable container..either zip lock bag or one of those plastic or

glass containers. Add just enough oil to cover the basil. Olive oil is ok,

but it will add it's own flavor, so if you don't want that particular flavor

any vegetable oil of your preference will do. The Basil will stay as fresh

tasting as the day you picked it! Just take out the amount you require and

put the rest back up in the freezer. This helpful hint came from Gwen

Barkley( a chef in her own right), the daughter of Madeline Hill. Madeline

has been raising herbs longer than most of us have been alive, and she is

still going!
