pesto cubes

so a girlfriend of mine brought over a garbage sack full of basil from the farm.

I love fresh basil, but I have a bunch of it already growing in my garden, so I decided to process it and freeze it for winter's use. I don't have traditional ice cube trays.

to process basil to save for winter, should you find yourself the recipient of a crap-ton of basil, all you need to do is chop it finely and add enough olive oil to coat it. I added some lemon juice to keep the color (basil turns greyish black when oxidizing). then put in ice trays and freeze.
