Frozen Basil That Doesn’t Turn Black
I tried a new way of freezing basil this year, and it was so easy, I ended up doing all of my basil using this method. Basically, just pulse fresh basil and olive oil in a food processor (1/4 cup olive oil to 2 cups packed basil leaves) until the basil is finely chopped, then freeze in a thin layer in a ziploc bag. To use, just break off as large a piece as you need. Basil prepared and frozen this way does not turn black, and the flavor remains like fresh.

Neat tip! Mine is still going to town in the garden. I’ll have to harvest some and try your method. Thanks!
