The price is excellent & you can keep the bag of nuts fresh in the freezer for ages. Pinenuts: Costco is the best place to buy pinenuts.

One of them accidentally wasn't even a basil but I made a lot of pesto with it. It's called Lime Mint & it smells like basil. So I say try making pesto style things with other herbs. You might find something you really like. Also, I used toasted pecans in all my pestos last summer in place of the pinenuts & it was fabulous! BTW, the Lime Mint lived through our cold Utah winter, so it was a wonderful surprise to see it thriving this spring. It's also good in flower arrangements since it's nice looking AND a bonus: it makes the arrangement smell good! Last summer I grew 3 different basils & got their names mixed up.

Thanks for all the great ideas! Just to let you know, a full sized food processor takes up a TON of space on your counter and we dont use ours that often. For small things, we actually use the Magic Bullet. It's surprisingly good! Marie, I’ve been a lurker on your site for quite some time! Thanks for all the great ideas!

I freeze mine (when I make a big batch) in a muffin tin (not as ice cube tray - too small) for future use. Try mixing pesto with mayo for some yummy sandwich spread. Also delicious spread on salmon and grilled. Enjoy your harvest - YUM! didn’t grow basil this year. seeing your post reminded me how much I love fresh pesto.

Perfect timing. I love this stuff! I like to use it when I make panini sandwiches. It is so good on the bread with chicken, cheese, tomato & fresh spinach. My favorite lately!!
