FIRST HARVEST OF THE SEASON

Basil from my greenhouse.

This is sweet basil and mammoth basil. I made the first of  many batches of pesto I will make this summer. 

I don't use a recipe or measure anything when I make pesto. I just start adding until I think it looks good. I don't always add the same ingredients, either. In this batch I have basil, garlic, toasted almonds, shredded parmesan cheese, salt, and olive oil. Then I put a lid on and put it in the freezer. These 4oz. jars make the perfect serving size.
