How to Keep Basil Fresh


I LOVE basil.  But, I do not use it enough to not waste some of it.  I knew there had to be a better way to preserve it.  I turned to my friend, Google to find a solution.  I found a suggestion from Rachael Ray and decided I would try it.  She made it sound so simple; I was in shock.  All you do is treat basil like you would flowers.  When you bring it home, cut the end and place in a small amount of water (I just used a glass that I had).  Then place a plastic storage bag over the top to make a greenhouse type effect.  It has been almost a week and my basil is still fresh!  Definitely will be doing this from now on :)
