Homemade Pesto is simply divine.  We grow a beautiful garden, you can check out How our Garden grows  and get a look at it from seeds to harvest.  We have a ton of Basil right now AND one my favorite things to make with Basil is Homemade Pesto.  It is SO easy and just about the best thing you can make with fresh Basil 🙂

    Love your pesto recipe! It’s gorgeous. I cannot wait to check out everything. We kinda think pesto is one of the greatest food inventions ever

    I have Basil overtaking the back yard. How much oil should be added and how long can the pesto be kept in the refrigerator?
    Thanks.

      Hi Dee… I’ve fixed the recipe! I’m so sorry, it seems like with all the proof reading I do- I would catch things like the listing the oil! hahaha. You will love this recipe and if there’s any left over, it’s good for at least 5 days. We always eat it right up but I’ve also heard that freezing it works well and then it can be added right into dinners all year long! That would be nice 🙂

      Stop by anytime~ Ruthie
