freezing basil
September 16, 2008
In a previous post, I showed my process of freezing squash & zucchini. Freezing herbs, is a great way to preserve those beautiful fresh herbs from your garden. I planted a bunch of herbs in one of my Mom’s flower gardens and the basil did INCREDIBLE. The plant that I bought was so very small, so I didn’t think it would grow as well as it did. The red arrow below shows how small it was when I planted the basil.
My Mom sent me the pic below last month. She trimmed it back after this and it doubled in size.
Below is the process I used to freeze basil:
freezing basil
- wash basil in the salad spinner
- place basil in food processor
- add 1-2 T of olive oil
- pulse until basil & oil have mixed together
- spoon basil mix into ice cube tray and freeze
