I froze the mushrooms I dehydrated, in order to kill any little critters that might want to grow up and ruin my work not to mention being rather unappatizing and possibly bad for our health.
Today I made and froze 3 pints of pesto. That's about a years supply, Hooray! Even though I love the taste of basil, all that fresh basil smell wafting around the house makes me nauseous.
Oh yum! I usually do this in either 1-cup containers or ice cube trays that then get transferred to freezer bags. Thanks for the reminder! Once I get done with peaches, I better move on to pesto
