Basil for freezing

Twelve ounces of basil leaves

I harvested one row of the remaining basil patch in the hoophouse. Following this blog post’s recommendation of the best way, I washed and dried the leaves and stuffed them into freezer bags. Easy. Much easier than attempting to freeze as pesto in ice cube trays, which was honestly a disaster.

More basil to process, about three times that much again. I like it fresh but it’s starting to get brown.
