Pecan Basil Pesto

Ingredients

  • 4 c. basil rinsed and dried and large stems removed
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 c. pecans or walnuts
  • 1 1/2 c. parmesan cheese
  • 14 c. lemon juice
  • 1/2-3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 c. olive oil (more or less)

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients except the olive oil into the food processor and process until everything is chopped and no large pieces or basil or pecans showing.
  2. While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you have the consistency you want. Put small amounts (1/3-1/2 cup) into snack size bags or use a vacuum sealer. Put the smaller bags into one larger Ziplock back and freeze until needed.
