Basil Pucks

Skip has worked hard on the garden this year. He has been rewarded with several robust basil plants.

I stumbled upon an idea for preserving basil for later use. Wash and dry the leaves. Put in a food processor and chop, drizzling a couple of tablespoons of olive oil at the same time.

Press into ice cube trays or mini muffin tin and freeze. Once frozen, pop out of the mold and store in a freezer bag. The 'pucks' are ready to use after the growing season.

Even frozen they can be cut into smaller pieces.
