Home made pesto!

[clothmama]

My basil is doing really well (pick taken after I'd harvested) so I decided to make homemade pesto for the first time - it was a great success and so so so delicious! I used cashew as that is what I had but I spotted another recipe that used walnuts so I'm going to do that once our walnuts are ready and then it will be almost all home grown produce!

How do you grow nuts.

Yum! homemade pesto. I had some for my dinner last night with homemade spaghetti.

That looks amazing!! Wonder if it would store well?

Ooh, yum! Save me some!

@littlesez plenty living in my house We have 3 huge walnut and 3 huge hazlenut trees!

I make homemade pesto it stores really well just cover top in extra Virgin olive oil and keep in fridge lasts I reckon about a month.

How did your walnut pesto go @clothmama? I've got a friend with a new baby and a two year old - I remember how hard that is, so making a few foodie bits for her. I've got basil, pine nuts, walnuts parmesan and garlic...

Mmmmmmmmm that looks delish - made me hungry
Looking forward to hearing about the walnut-version
