Freezing Basil.

With the recent rain my basil plants shot up and started to flower, to try and prolong the plants I cut them all back and was left with a lot of basil so decided to preserve the leaves by freezing.

Place the leaves in a food processor with a couple of table spoon of olive oil and pulse to a fine consistency.

Transfer to a Ice cube tray and freeze then store in a zip lock bag. They can then be used soups, curries and pasta sauces at a later date.
