The tomatoes we are growing are starting to flower, just wonder if you have any preserving tips for tomatoes as i think we are going to have lots this year. Thanks so much Fitzy ************************ **************** D M <deranged_millionaire Wednesday, 11 June, 2008 5:16:17 AM Freezing Basil and Other Herbs ...... Remove the leaves from the stems and roughly chop. Place in a blender with a tablespoon or two of extra virgin olive oil and pulse. If a puree doesn't begin to form, add a little more oil, about a teaspoon at a time until a smooth puree comes together. You don't want to add any more oil than necessary so as to keep the basil flavor as potent as possible. ..... **************** ************************* Thank You to T. Fitzgerald, I concur. Superb basil/herb instructions from DM. Within the original post, the last sentence above reminded me to apply art to the science, gently. I resonate with these types of posts, delicate opinion. It's natural with talent, unforced. There's been a lot of talented posts. My opinion! Again, D.M. & GGOSVE/ founder, Thank You for the freezing basil post. Very useful, succinct. Thanks again. I believe the right to complain suggests the obligation to compliment. And I really like and learn from this .Group. My opinion.
