Basil

I have seven different kinds of basil growing in my garden. Yeah, let's just say moderation isn't my forte.

So for a few weeks, I had a serious over abundance of basil at my house.



It looked like this every day.

I can't waste it, so naturally, I made stuff with it.

Pesto,



Nomnomnomnom.

I froze most of it.



Basil cubes are super convenient. I've frozen basil before, this is by far the best method I've tried.

I also made...pause for dramatic effect...Jelly!!!!



I separated the lemon/lime basil from all the rest and used that for the jelly. The batch only made about 5 jars so I'm totally hoarding them. If you're lucky enough to have gotten a jar of it, know that I love you.

Anyway, I still have too much basil. If you want some, let me know and I'll cube some up for you.

I'm not at all looking forward to the day before the first freeze. My house will be overrun with the stuff.

My pepper post will have to wait for another day, I picked more today.

That's all for now.

Later!
