• Gather basil, wash and pat dry.
• Remove leaves from stems.
• Pause to enjoy the heavenly fragrance.
• Place leaves in blender with a little olive oil-just enough to allow the blender to chop the basil.
• If the basil doesn't chop and blend well with the olive oil, add a little more olive oil.
• You want a predominance of basil and just enough oil.
• Freeze the chopped basil and olive oil in plastic ice cube trays or in very small freezer containers. After the basil cubes are frozen, seal in a freezer bag.
