This was very easy to make and smelled so wonderful! I counted out 100 basil leaves of various sizes. Turned out to be about 2 cups of leaves packed (to save others the counting time). I ended up using the full 1/3 cups of olive oil to make it the consistency that I like. It tastes wonderful! I will use this on Recipe #157860 tonight.Reply
