We have basil! Utah gardening is awesome! We froze two batches of pesto last night. Rich went to buy pine nuts. They were 39$ a pound. So we did a test. We made a batch pricey with pine nuts and olive oil. Then we made a batch cheap with almonds and canola oil. I actually prefer the canola and almond batch. Canola has 2 less grams of monounsaturated fat (mufa) but almonds have triple the mufa of pine nuts. So nutritionally speaking they are comparable. But who really even knows if that matters. Hooray for fresh basil!!
