Homemade Pesto Recipe + Pesto Freezing Tips!
Did you know you can freeze your pesto? When summer is here and basil is abundant in my garden, I love making big batches of pesto to freeze and use throughout the year. To avoid spending a fortune on pine nuts, I use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, or a combination of them all. Blend them up with lots of garlic, oil, and some spices, and then freeze it in ice cube trays to last all year long. I simply store it in the freezer in an airtight container, and when I’m ready to use it, I warm it up by microwave or stovetop.
