How to Keep Summer Basil Fresh

summer basil
i just love to grow basil during the summer, but this year i didn’t get around to planting any.  so instead of having it in my garden, i just cut some stems and placed it in a mug of water.  it will last for weeks as long as the stem are in water.  pretty cool.  i have tried doing this in the winter from the store bought basil and i haven’t had any luck.  not sure why.  so here is how you do this simple task…
buy some fresh basil from the grocery store

cut the stems and immediately place in a jar with water.  use for all you cooking needs!

    Yes, if the basil leaves don't wilt it will eventually grow roots! Kind of cool. I've never planted them but I would imagine they would do fine. Good luck! Just remember sometimes in the winter the store bought basil won't work, not sure why…
