Here is summer in a jar folks. It is packed with garlic and basil and the vibrant green color just makes me happy-not just because that happens to be my favorite color. Mix up a batch and toss with pasta, spread on a sandwich or grab some crusty bread and dip right into it. We buy our bread from Costco. It’s their French Baguette that comes in a pack of 2 for $4.99. (The pesto can also be shared among friends and neighbors. You know who you are.) Pair it with a crisp white wine.
