    Do you wash the basil before freezing

      @Deborah Farris this post (and blog post) is about freezing pesto. I think thought, that yes, you wash the basil before you freeze it. Make sure it is dry though before you freeze. I've also seen basil frozen in ice cube trays - fill the tray and cover with water. Then freeze.
