Summer Recipes- Mom’s Priority- basil, rosemary, tomatoes- yum!
What is the quintessential scent of summer to you? Is it chlorine from the pool, the smell of kids’ sunscreen, sea spray from the ocean, or the smells of fresh-picked berries, tomatoes, or herbs? For sure, mine is basil. I love basil’s sweet aroma that leaves a stain on your hands when you pick it. Basil is only available in summer as far as I know, and it can be useful in so many dishes!
Making pesto with fresh basil leaves and freezing it in ice cube trays for use later is a fabulous way to savor your basil crop for several months to come.
Pesto simply made from basil leaves and olive oil, pour into ice trays and freeze for fresh pesto anytime
