It is that time of year to harvest your basil and make pesto before its frosts. Last night, after a busy few days of socializing, I stayed in and made pesto. Some I am keeping fresh in the refrigerator (top the container with a layer of olive oil so it does not darken) and the rest I will freeze. I think I was a little heavy on the garlic….I still reeked of garlic in the morning….glad I stayed home after eating my pesto pasta!
Store-bought garlic! Ack! Ted, you should be growing your own! As easy as the basil, and lots of varieties to choose from. It’s not too late to plant this fall — get in touch with me and I’ll share some heads with you, as I have plenty left.
