Frozen Basil Bullets

I always wind up with tons on Basil over the summer which I make up into Pesto and freeze in ice cube trays for use over the winter. This year I still have Pesto from last summer. What to do with the plethora of Basil growing???..... Frozen Basil Bullets! Fresh chopped up Basil frozen in plug/bullet shaped ice cube tray. I love this tray because you can easily push the frozen yummies out by pushing the buttony bottom of the trays. Other trays tend to crack on me.

Step 1 Grow it & pick it

So first you have to grow (or buy) a lot of Basil. This year I am growing Sweet Basil and Purple Basil. Once you have a bunch of good leaves, pick them!

it works really well to make a big batch of pesto minus the cheese, and use the same method of freezing cubes...

Put 'em on sticks and serve them as appetizers. Everything is better on a stick.

I love this idea. Just popping one of those into a soup or sauce would be amazing! :D
