 Tapenade is a wonderful olive sauce from the south of France. It is
 delicious on French bread or with crudites and can also make a
 delicious sauce for grilled meats and fish.

 Place everything in a blender except the basil and blend on high
 speed. Add more olive oil if too thick.  Pour into a bowl and stir
 in the basil. This will keep for 10 days.

 Makes 1 Cup
