    Instructions
    <\/div> <\/h3>
    • Pulse the basil leaves and garlic in the food processor until finely chopped.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Next, add the cheese, pine nuts, salt and pepper and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse paste<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • With the food processor running, drizzle the olive oil through the feeder tube until fully incorporated.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Fill the freezer storage tubs to within 1\/2 inch of the top Pour a drizzle of olive oil over the pesto. This helps keep the pesto it's rich green color i in the freezer. Seal with lids and freeze for up to 12 months. For shorter term storage, up to 6 months, you can freeze the pesto in ice cube trays. When frozen, release from the trays ( a little hot water on the back) and place in freezer storage bags. When freezing in trays, drizzle a little olive oil on top of the pesto as keeping air out will help it keep its fresh green color.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
