Hi All,
I have tons of blanched basil ice cubes in my freezer. Today, I pulled out 2 big plants of basil (genovese and cinnamon). I wanted to get advice on how to dry basil. First is it worth it? I have read a lot of mixed opinions. I don't have a dehydrator, so if I do dry the basil then it will be in the oven. Thanks for you help. Angelique |

Read at the following places:
Preserving Herbs How to dry your own sage, thyme and parsley herbs Scroll down the page to view different articles: Dan & Elisha Gustafson's Food Preservation Articles, Reviews, & Buyers Guides Personally, I just lay the whole branch on a washed, used stryfoam meat tray & paint them with EVOO & a gentle basting brush; freeze them on the same tray, then when frozen, tranfer to a zipper lock baggie. Works out fine for me. You can also wrap several branches in waxed paper before sealing them in the zipper lock baggie.
