Step 4Freeze and bag.
Freeze in the tray for a few hours. Then transfer to a freezer bag for long term storage.
Its best to get as much air out of the bag as possible. Vacuum sealing would be ideal.
Anyone have a DIY for a vacuum bagging system?
Now, when you need pesto for one, two or five, you have the chunks ready to go. I buy into the conspiracy theories that microwaving kills the good stuff in veggies so I just let them thaw slowly if I cant just throw it in with the hot food. They thaw pretty quickly anyway because of the olive oil....

DIY wacuum bagging? Amateur boat builders often do it. For this application, I would guess that you could obtain decent results simply by using your vacuum cleaner. I have once stripped the fan and engine from a vacuum cleaner in order to use them for vacuum bagging. Worked quite ok. Another solution, which might be more appropriate for kitchen use, is to buy/build/find one of those nozzles that you hook up to a water tap. (There is a swedish word for them, but I cannot find a proper translation at the moment.) Once you turn the water on, decent suction is "produced" in a side tube of the device. No moving parts.
