Kraft Kitchens Tips

Storage Know-How
Wrap stems of basil in a damp paper towel and refrigerate in a plastic bag up to 4 days. Or, place the bunch, stems down, in a glass of water with a plastic bag over the leaves and refrigerate as directed.

To make a black olive pesto, prepare as directed, adding 1/2 cup pitted black olives to the food processor container with the basil.
