Same here Jenny,jennyema said:I have both frozen and dried my garden basil.
Frankly, I like the dried basil better for most things I cook in the winter. It is really pungent and aromatic, with concentrated flavor -- nothing like supermarket basil. Much better than Penzey's too.
I like to dry some for myself, that stuff you get at the store is like old hay the cows won't eat!!! It doesn't even have the smell of basil.
