Pesto

This is basil.  It came in my Full Circle Farm box.  I like to preserve the basil for use during the winter.  My favorite way to do that is by making pesto.  The internet is awash with recipes for pesto, and I thought I would add mine.  :)





You can make pesto from lots of things, but I always use pine nuts.





A healthy dose of garlic is always a good idea.





And you can never go wrong with olive oil.





Everything needs to get chopped and mixed together.  I use my food processor.





Process it until it's about this consistency.  Then taste it.  If it's kind of blah, add more garlic.  If it's kind of dry, add more olive oil.





The pesto freezes great in an ice cube tray.  The possibilities are endless from there (well, so I hear.  Steve and I are boring and always eat it in pasta).
