Pesto.........


Basil from my garden........

Made into


Pesto........


I have been wanting to make some Pesto for so long. 
So long, in face that my first crop of Basil had well and truly run up to seed and was finished. 

I planted a new crop a few weeks ago and it has grown beautifully.

I've had a lovely time in the kitchen this weekend.  I helped my sister-in-law with food for a party and have stocked the cake containers here for my family.

Off to stitch some now, I think.......

Yummo Leisa - such a delicious meal - fresh pesto and pasta :) We made some over the summer with macadamia nuts. Not so keen on the pine nuts.
thinking of you with the long weekends! Have fun stitching and gardening. love, Barb

Basil pesto is the BEST! You've just reminded me of what we can do with our great crop of Basil. Thanks Leisa. Salmon with basil pesto is amazing!
