I just made some pesto (my new mini food processor/stick mixer ftw) and I think I need another bunch of basil because it's a little bit strong on the garlic side (more like an allioli with some basil and parmesan) but damn it's GORGEOUS! I will never buy pesto in a jar again (especially as I can't seem to find the really nice Genoan anymore). The problem is that for a portion of pasta you only need a heaped teaspoon full or so, so I'm not sure how long it'll keep.

Ha! It doesn't keep very long, but it is very very nice.... and Diccon eats it all the time, so if you're going to throw any away... throw it in his direction, he'll love you forever :-D

OK! ;o)
The stuff in jar keeps OK but I assume that's due to preservatives and things.

Re: Freeze it!!!

who are you?

How about plopping it into an ice cube tray? Then you have handy portion-sized frozen bits!

I do not have a freezer!

[claire-smith.livejournal.com]

Oh! Then that was the least helpful suggestion ever.

I'd suggest one of these, but I don't know where you'd find space for it! ;)

You do remember the tininess of my kitchen from the photo post a while ago? You should be able to find it if you search my tags for flat, I think.
That's a cute little freezer but there *is* no space...
