Last night I processed the basil I had harvested the day before and made pesto. I still had garlic scapes in the fridge, and used a few of those plus pine nuts, olive oil and salt. To make the pesto more versatile and to be considerate of pesto lovers in my circle who cannot have dairy, I did not add cheese. Cheese can always be added later. I then froze the pesto in ice cube trays and transferred the (ten) frozen cubes to Ziplock bags this morning to freeze for the longer term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?resize=695%2C618&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6171\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C910&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?resize=300%2C267&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?resize=768%2C682&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?resize=1536%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?resize=1100%2C977&amp;ssl=1 1100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?w=1702&amp;ssl=1 1702w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/peston-07_29_2026-3.jpg?w=1390&amp;ssl=1 1390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First round of pesto in the freezer!
