Thank you all! Thank You! I was just making some pesto the other day!


A tip for keeping your pesto that pretty green color:

Blanch the leaves for just a few seconds and shock in ice water before chopping. It's worth the effort to have lovely green pesto instead of that dull dark color it turns otherwise. Smiling
