The taste of fresh basil says summer to me and a quick pesto meal in the middle of winter reminds me that the sun and heat will come back. My mother taught me a way to preserve all the basil that we grew every summer in a way that keeps the just picked flavor and color all winter long. Jars of fresh basil and garlic goodness in your fridge to use through the winter. Use this base to make pesto quickly or as a basil garlic note in soups and stews.


Buon Appetito
