      Yield: 1 Cup
 
      1 bn Basil, washed, stemmed
    3/4 c  Oil, olive
 
       Puree the basil with 1/2 cup of olive oil.  Cover with a bit of
  olive oil and refrigerate for up to two weeks if desired.  (The
  length of time the basil is in oil helps to diffuse the flavor into
  the oil. On the other hand, after two weeks, the fresh basil begins
  to lose its bouquet, and taste to natural spoilage.
  
       Discard after 6 weeks and start fresh.
