Basil

A departure from standard basil-and-pine nut pesto, the addition of bright mint and earthy walnuts makes this pesto both livelier and heartier at the same time.

This easy recipe makes the best beet pickles! Fermented instead of canned, they're full of healthy probiotics. With cumin and basil, they're flavorful, bright and tangy.

Good dressings are worth their weight in salad. This basil vinaigrette is SUPER EASY to make and goes great on just about any garden or pasta salad.

Canning the tomato base ahead during the peak of tomatoe season makes serving this soup delicious and easy. Just create a basic cream broth, pour in the tomato base and you have a delicious winter soup on a cold winter day.
