My Pesto is the Best-o

Lots of basil from my herb garden.

Almost 2 quarts of organic pesto...so good!
Pesto
Fannie Farmer pg 329 - revised

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine-nuts, toasted
1/4 cup olive oil
Sea salt

Put basil, garlic, and nuts in a food processor and process until finely chopped.  Add the oil and process until smooth.  Salt to taste. 

**I froze this in quart jars with a film of olive oil over the top so it doesn't turn black.  Next time I will freeze it in a muffin tin (sprayed with Pam, maybe???) so it will be in dinner sized pieces.
