🌱 HOW TO FREEZE BASIL
A new way to freeze basil! Ditch the ice cube trays filled with olive oil- you don’t need them!
This basil freezing method is a quick and easy way to preserve a lot of fresh basil.
Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil for every 3 cups of fresh, lightly packed basil leaves.
6 cups of basil fits in a quart bag. Use multiple quart bags instead of moving up to a gallon size for more.

I put the leaves on a cookie sheet and pop in the freezer. When the leaves are frozen i put them in a ziploc bag. Then I just pull out as many leaves as I want.

@RJisBack24 Год назад

Me also!

@juliehock6059 Год назад

This is the way I would do it also. I also freeze chives and parsley. I do wash them, spin in a salad spinner (or roll them up in a tea towel. Once dry I chop them then put them in a small container. So easy to use.

@pamglass6007 Год назад

Thanks. Sounds much easier.

What if you don’t have a freezer with all that room. My freezer is full of meat and chicken and cookies.

@kitchwatembo 11 месяцев назад

@@tompatchak8706doesn't sound like a problem, just eat cookies until there is enough room 😂

@nonnieanthonys2415 10 месяцев назад

I always freeze my basil in ziplock bags. I don’t use any olive oil just fresh clean basil! I also do the same with parsley, rosemary thyme and sage. Great way to have fresh herbs on hand. No wasted herbs !

@PrairieMom 9 месяцев назад

The herbs don't turn black?

@annatraficante 11 месяцев назад

I put the Basil (stalks and all) in a freezer bag and stick in the freezer. When frozen I remove the bag and squash the contents until all the Basil brakes down. I then put the broken Basil in a plastic container and return to freezer. When cooking sauces etc. during winter I just sprinkle what I need and then return the container back into the freezer. The Basil remains loose and you just tip out what you need. It is easy and convenient.

@wendymccollough156 9 месяцев назад

I do this with spinach as well

@gusgstratton8977 11 месяцев назад

To minimize risk of bruising when mixing with olive oil, one could alternatively lay out the basil on a cookie or baking sheet, and spray the olive oil for a more thorough coating of the leaves.

@Fargosportsmassage Месяц назад

You don't wash them with water before costing with oil? Thanks

@haywardgarner4850 Год назад

I just toss the leaves in a freezer bag. Since I am using them for cooking in the winter, this method has worked for me. Nice to see someone else with a similar version of freezing. I may try adding olive oil to see if I notice a difference.

@2Aries1953 Год назад

That's very helpful, thank you! I love Basil but I only buy them the day or the next day I need them, as they don't stay "fresh" after two days (they start to turn black). Also, I don't throw away the stems after I took all the leaves off. I used Basil mostly in my pasta dishes, specifically spaghetti, and Asian dishes. It's the stems (whole) that I usually freeze and then add them to my simmering spaghetti sauce whenever I make spaghetti. Believe me, they do add a lot of Basil "flavor" even without using the leaves.

@juliehock6059 11 месяцев назад

i buy the pots of basil from Aldi. They last for more than a month, I water regularly and they sit on my windowsill.

@gillianmountford4942 10 месяцев назад

I buy a potted basil use the top and replant the bottom that’s left into several pots. It soon grows in the summer months.

@barbarac4750 10 месяцев назад

Put your fresh basil in a jar of water and cover with a gallon baggie and they won't turn black as quickly. You might even get some sprouts

@TheJhtlag 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, but her point here is when you're growing it and have too much basil to consume in a short period of time.

@iainb1577 10 месяцев назад

I have grown basil for years now and this idea never occurred to me, so thanks to you I should have basil through the winter and spring. Cheers.

@catherinemcgill3004 10 месяцев назад

I love this idea and I’m going to do it with this year’s crop. I’ve frozen basil successfully for years but I’ve been working too hard. I always washed it, dried it, turned it into confetti in the food processor, mix with olive oil (way more than you used, freeze in tablespoon sized balls then bag. I’m going to use your easy method today because I have tons!

@CeliniaGava Год назад

Nice! I love the way you've shown us to do this. I didn't like the idea of essentially turning it all into pesto, since I love using fresh basil in a variety of dishes! Thanks for the info!

@libbyworkman3459 Год назад

@@M_Ladd she doesn’t say don’t look at it or inspect it. Are you saying you would not see and remove a bug or a piece of dirt? I pick through dried beans before I cook them. I can do the same for a few leaves of basil.

@chon.nk.7550 5 месяцев назад

Many people stress too much with preserving basil. It doesn't matter whether you wash them or preserve with olive oil, it still taste and smell well after months of preserving it. Just don't leave it out for long when you take it out for use and it should be in an air stripped container.

@LauraPerna-pg7tn 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your method of freezing basil. I love using basil whenever I can. However, I had to buy it in a packet in the winter and could only use it the one time because it would turn black. Buying a packet of basil is not cheap even in the summer months. I grow lots of basil in the summer and now I will use your method to freeze as much as I can so that I have it when I don't have it in my garden. Thank you for sharing this info.
