Most years my family grows basil in our backyard and then harvests it to make a bunch of pesto which we freeze to use throughout the year. While most pesto recipes call for pine nuts this one does not because the pesto preserves less well with pine nuts and may become rancid.
2 cups basil leaves, well packed into the measuring cup
3-5 cloves of garlic
1 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
a pinch of salt
and a dash of vinegar.
Put them all in a food processor and blend them together. You might want to put in one or two ingredients at a time to not overstuff the food processor.
