As much as we love pesto, it’s not the only way to bring basil to the party. Consider folding chopped herbs into biscuit dough to upgrade your strawberry shortcake, or using them to infuse a homemade syrup to pour into cocktails. Toss basil into sauces as they simmer on the stove. Sprinkle a handful on top of ratatouille. Or turn a bunch of basil into a spectacular stir-fry. |
You can prolong the lifespan of that fresh bouquet of basil with these simple storage tips. First up: Do not put it in the fridge. |
