Using a spatula, carefully<BR clear="none" /> fill all the cells of a plastic ice cube tray, being careful to force<BR clear="none" /> out any air bubbles (it takes a little over two cups to fill an<BR clear="none" /> ordinary tray). Place the tray in a plastic freezer bag and allow to<BR clear="none" /> freeze solid. Twist the tray and remove the cubes to a plastic<BR clear="none" /> freezer bag (I double bag). One cube roughly equals a serving when<BR clear="none" /> you add cheese at the time of use. It takes about 15 minutes thaw a<BR clear="none" /> cube. I usually set them out when I start to cook and add the cheese<BR clear="none" /> separately to the dish.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.culinate.com/books/collections/all_books/Essentials+of+Classic+Italian+Cooking/pesto?utm_source=NL20090701&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Pesto&utm_campaign=Summers_Bounty"><P>I’ve not noticed any change in flavor in our -10F freezer for up to a<BR clear="none" /> year.
